Abstract
The limitations of millimeter (mm)-wave circuit design in CMOS were discussed in the previous chapters. Also, several design techniques were proposed to improve the behavior at device and circuit level. Applying these mm-wave CMOS design techniques is necessary to develop high-performance-integrated mm-wave transmitters, capable of processing data rates in the order of several Gb/s. Of course, these high data rates and carrier frequencies will also have an impact at system level. Therefore, traditional RF transmitter architectures should be reinvestigated and adjusted to meet the imposed specifications of high-speed wireless data communication while keeping the power consumption as low as possible.
