Millimeter-Wave CMOS Transceiver Toward 1Tbps Wireless Communication

In this paper, a way to realize 1Tbps in wireless will be discussed based on Shannon and Friis equations. Several millimeter-wave CMOS transceivers will be also introduced to show possible ways to realize more than 100Gb/s data rate by using the present circuit and device technology. The importance of active and passive device characterization is provided and examples are given with relevant references.
