MTT-23: RFIC 2005 RFIC Symposium
Wireless communications, including 2G and 3G cellular,
2.4- and 5-GHz wireless LAN, Bluetooth and GPS,
have proliferated rapidly. These forms of communication
will not be confined to a single system. In fact,
one of the main user requirements is to be able
to connect to networks anytime, anywhere using the
most suitable wireless system of all the various
wireless systems available, according to the situation.
This broad requirement has led to a demand for multi-band
and multi-mode transceiver ICs. Even though such
transceivers feature both multi-band and multi-mode
operations, they must be small and economical and
have low power consumption. There are various integrated
approaches to multi-band ICs, such as parallel RF
paths, wideband circuits, multi-pass band circuits,
tunable circuits and switching circuits. This half-day
workshop will review these and other techniques
for achieving multi-band and multi-mode RFICs, and
discuss what the right approach is, in the light
of RF performance and cost, at present and in the
future.
