Abstract
With an explosion of wireless mobile devices and services, wireless system and circuit designers are facing a continuously increased demand for high data rates and mobility required by daily booming wireless applications. Currently, the fourth generation (4G ) wireless network can support data rates up to 1 Gb/s for low mobility, such as local wireless access, and up to 100 Mb/s for high mobility, such as mobile access. However, due to the limited spectrum resource at low-GHz range, 4G networks are about to reach the theoretical limit on how many bits they can squeeze into a given amount of spectrum, which are definitely not sufficient to meet the future needs.

Notes
- 1.
The Wireless Gigabit Alliance was subsumed by the Wi-Fi Alliance in March 2013.
- 2.
Range resolution \(\varDelta R = c/(2 \times BW)\) where c equals the speed of the light. Therefore, for a resolution of 10 cm, a bandwidth of about 1.5 GHz is needed.
- 3.
In simulation, the PDK RF transistor model is used.
