Ultra High-Speed CMOS Circuits: Beyond 100 GHz

The book covers the CMOS-based millimeter wave circuits and devices and presents methods and design techniques to use CMOS technology for circuits operating beyond 100 GHz.� Coverage includes a detailed description of both active and passive devices, including modeling techniques and performance optimization. Various mm-wave circuit blocks are discussed, emphasizing their design distinctions from low-frequency design methodologies. This book also covers a device-oriented circuit design technique that is essential for ultra high speed circuits and gives some examples of device/circuit co-design that can be used for mm-wave technology. Offers a detailed description of high frequency device modeling from a circuit designer perspective; Presents a set of techniques for optimizing the performance of CMOS for mm-wave technology, including noise and low noise design for mm-wave; Introduces circuit/device co-design techniques. �
