Silicon is ready for mmWave frequencies
Millimeter wave applications Applications
Challenges
Lets look at 60 GHz WLAN as an example
Exemplary silicon circuits
Looking at higher frequencies Exemplary circuits (VCOs, LNAs, PA’s…)
And what can we expect silicon mmWave ICs to cost ?
Summary and concluding remarks
