Towards Integrated Transceivers in mm-Wave Applications Neil. C. Bird, Mihai A.T. Sanduleanu Philips Research Laboratories, Prof. Holstlaan 4, 5656 AA Eindhoven, The Netherlands, +31-40-2742482 Abstract -- In this paper, we discuss the trend towards higher frequencies in many consumer RF applications. This trend is, on the one hand, a consequence of an apparently endless demand for increased data
