THE EVOLUTION OF MICROWAVE AND MILLIMETER-WAVE CMOS ICS

摘要

So far, demand for millimeter-wave electronics in commercial or consumer markets isn't strong. However, if the cost structure for such devices were to become less restrictive, it could pave the way to countless applications. Millimeter-wave CMOS-with a high degree of integration at low costs-could be a potential enabler for these technologies. Postulating that different circuit approaches other than RF-CMOS are necessary to develop millimeter-wave CMOS, Asad A. Abidi of UCLAs Electrical Engineering Department presented research on the progression of millimeter-wave CMOS development since the 1970s.
