CMOS-only rf and baseband circuits for a monolithic 900 MHz wireless transceiver

Recently developed 1-/spl mu/m CMOS circuits for a 900 MHz spread-spectrum wireless transceiver show that by combining a MOS style of circuits design with flexibility in system architecture, it is possible to integrate the entire transceiver on a single-chip, and to obtain a level of performance previously only possible by combining advanced silicon bipolar technologies with specialized passive components.
