A digitally calibrated 5.15-5.825GHz transceiver for 802.11a wireless LANs in 0.18μm CMOS

Abstract
This transceiver achieves a transmit 1dB output compression point of +15dBm, and the overall receiver noise figure is 5dB. A power gain range of >45dB/65dB for transmit/receive and a PLL synthesizer frequency range of 4.9 to 5.85GHz with -79dBc/Hz phase noise at 10kHz offset have been measured. The IC is realized in 0.5/spl mu/m SiGe BICMOS technology and occupies 17mm/sup 2/.
