High speed CMOS circuits up to 40 Gb/s and 50 GHz

CMOS has demonstrated to be a suitable technology for wireless communications and very high bit-rate broadband circuits over 10 Gb/s. This paper presents advances in circuit design which fully exploit the high-speed potential of a 0.13 /spl mu/m standard CMOS technology up to 40 Gb/s and 50 GHz. The combination of advanced circuit techniques and state of the art fabrication process technology results in continuing the upward shift of frequency limits.
