Design of wireless LAN circuits in RF-CMOS

  • Chapter

Abstract

In this contribution, a few circuits will be described, which have been designed in a 0.18 μm CMOS process. The circuits, a synthesiser and a 20 dBm power amplifier for Bluetooth and a 10 GHz VCO for the 5 GHz wireless standard, demonstrate the possibility of using CMOS as technology for RF applications.
