  • Abstract
    This paper describes the challenges of designing RF integrated circuits using the advanced RFCMOS technology. Following an overview of the RFCMOS process, design challenges for low cost, high performance RFICs and their integration issues are discussed. Discussions show that these challenges can be addressed through innovative circuit and system design, technology enhancement, accurate model support and close collaboration among designers and technology providers.
