Abstract

Over the past decades, there has been a massive increase in RF telecommunication technologies and systems. These systems have been developed aiming at very different applications, such as ultra-low-power communications like RFID and NFC, systems for broadband ubiquitous connectivity like the different standards for WiFi or the successive generations of cellular networks. These developments have taken place in parallel to—and driven by—the advances in CMOS technologies, which have allowed the development of high-performance, low-power, and highly integrated systems at a competitive price, making them suitable for the mass market. This chapter reviews the semiconductor technologies that allow RFIC design at mm-wave frequencies, and it also outlines the main applications of mm-waves.

\(f_T\) is defined as the frequency at which the short-circuit current gain of a transistor equals unity. It is a common figure of merit that gives an idea of the maximum frequency at which transistors in a given process can be employed to provide gain.
