CMOS Front Ends for Millimeter Wave Wireless Communication Systems [Paperback]

This book focuses on the development of circuit and system design techniques for millimeter wave wireless communication systems above 90GHz and fabricated in nanometer scale CMOS technologies.? The authors demonstrate a hands-on methodology that was applied to design six different chips, in order to overcome a variety of design challenges.? Behavior of both actives and passives, and how to design them to achieve high performance is discussed in detail. This book serves as a valuable reference for millimeter wave designers, working at both the transistor level and system level.

No?l Deferm (S'09) was born in Diest, Belgium, in 1985. In 2008 he received the degree of M.S. in Electrical Engineering (ir.) from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven), Belgium. The subject of his MS thesis was on the design of ultra low-power architectures for wireless sensor networks.
He is currently working as a postdoc researcher at the MICAS laboratories of the department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven) from which he received the Ph.D. in Engineering Science (dr.) in 2014. While working towards his Ph.D. degree, his main research focus was on mm-wave CMOS circuit design for wireless communication systems.
In 2011, he received the TSMC-Europractice innovation award.

Patrick Reynaert was born in Wilrijk, Belgium, in 1976. He received the Master of Industrial Sciences in Electronics (ing.) from the Karel de Grote Hogeschool, Antwerpen, Belgium in 1998 and both the Master of Electrical Engineering (ir.) and the Ph.D. in Engineering Science (dr.) from the KU Leuven), Belgium in 2001 and 2006 respectively.

From 2001 to 2006, he was a Teachl3*
