摘要: A 60 GHz SiGe HBT chipset for high speed wireless communication systems has been developed. The functionalities of LNA, up-converter, down-converter and PA have realized with good performance. Design strategy, achieved results comparison state-of-the-art work will be presented. proves that single chip integration the whole RF-frond-end possible using silicon based technologies.
