A 1x2 MIMO Multi-Band CMOS Transceiver with an Integrated Front-End in 90nm CMOS for 802.11a/g/n WLAN Applications

With the introduction of mobile laptop platforms into the wireless communication market, the usage of WiFi in everyday life has taken off exponentially. Further penetration into additional platforms and products, such as handheld devices and PDAs, requires a dramatic reduction in cost and smaller form factors of the wireless device. This can only be achieved by higher levels of component integration onto the Silicon radio chips.
