CMOS Integration: From Technology Breakthroughs to System Applications

During European Microwave Week 2014, Peregrine’s co-founder and self-proclaimed CMOS-aholic Ron Reedy spoke about “CMOS Integration: From Technology Breakthroughs to System Applications.”

Rapid growth and increasing complexity of portable communication applications are forcing miniaturization of the whole system and reduction in total power consumption. This same trend is applicable to professional niche markets such as aerospace applications and missions. The presentation below showed the remarkable progress in the RF miniaturization achieved in the last few years through the RF CMOS SOI technology.
