Abstract
Different RF IC technologies are compared regarding their application, frequency range, and suitability for RF and baseband integration. The fully monolithic “phone on a chip” may be technically challenging to realize, and its commercial success may be challenged by progress in multi-chip integration. In the second part, examples of state-of-the-art RF monolithic circuits for applications in the frequency range of 2 to 17 GHz are presented.
