Abstract :
As the wireless market expands from voice to data networks, advances in radio architecture, circuit implementation and semiconductor device technology all contribute to significant increases in integration, functionality, and reductions in cost for wireless consumer products. A description of these advances, basic RFIC building block functionality, and the criteria used to evaluate semiconductor process technologies for optimal fit to those requirements is presented.
