Metal-mask configurable RF front-end circuits.

Metal-mask configurable RF front-end circuits.

This paper describes metal-mask configurable RF circuits using a base circuit fabric that can be configured for various wireless applications using only upper metal and via layers. This front-end circuit fabric achieves a wide range of configurability (e.g., operating center frequency) and is essent...
