Gangadhar Burra, Yorgos Palaskas · 2011
Summary form only given. High-throughput and low power continue to demand advances in CMOS wireless technologies for connectivity in various applications. The papers in this session show these developments in the area of mm-Wave 60GHz-and-up systems, as well as conventional connectivity platforms such as WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile TV. The over-arching trends at 60GHz are phased-arrays for wider range, integrated antennas and low power to target mobile applications. Traditional connectivity technologies show higher levels of integration, digital-centric architecture implementations and overall innovative ideas for system cost reduction.
