A single-chip digitally calibrated 5.15-5.825-GHz 0.18-μm CMOS transceiver for 802.11a wireless LAN.

The drive for cost reduction has led to the use of CMOS technology in the implementation of highly integrated radios. This paper presents a single-chip 5-GHz fully integrated direct conversion transceiver for IEEE 802.11a WLAN systems, manufactured in 0.18-μm CMOS. The IC features an innovative syst...
