Review of CMOS millimeter-wave radio frequency integrated circuits

The development of CMOS millimeter-wave (MMW) radio frequency integrated circuits (RFICs) has been grown rapidly in the past ten years. This paper reviews the advances of the CMOS MMW RFICs. The history and current status of the MMW CMOS RFICs, including some of the high-level integration of the system-on-chip (SoC) CMOS chips, are summarized. The applications of the MMW RFICs, together with the examples of system-in-package (SiP) for MMW CMOS RFICs will also be presented.
