Abstract
Enabled principally by technology scaling, low cost integrated circuit technologies have seen continual improvements in high frequency performance particularly in the radio frequency (RF) domain. This in turn has given rise to interest and the pursuit of heavily integrated designs integrating RF circuitry directly into analog and digital fabrics. In spite of the new design opportunities made available through heavy integration, and cleaver topological changes used to make integrated designs competitive, intrinsic and only partially explored fundamental limits remain present in these new topologies. Rigorous mathematical formulations of the performance of such systems operating in realistic and theoretically optimal configurations yield key insight into the feasibility of continuing to pursue improvements of these fully integrated designs.
