mm-Wave Silicon Technology

Abstract

This book is written for practicing RF and analog circuit designers who wish to join this exciting and growing field. The chapters are self-contained and include a short tutorial on important concepts before delving into details. The audience for this book is assumed to be experienced in the field of analog/RF integrated circuits. The focus of each chapter is the key innovations and techniques that enable operation at mm-wave frequencies, which is close to the activity limits of silicon technology. Many of the chapters are focused around several key publications in the field. Rather than republish the original papers, the authors have gone to great lengths to expand the material vii viii Preface and provide more background and breadth than the original technical publication.As such, this book would complement a graduatemicrowave or mm-wave course based on silicon technology.
