RF-CMOS is the technology that enabled the wireless revolution in the 1990s. Products incorporating emerging standards such as 802.11 (Wi-fi), Bluetooth and fiber optic applications need high-performance and reliable manufacturing solutions based on RF CMOS. RF-CMOS allows the use of sophisticated modulation/demodulation schemes and algorithms, high quality error detection and correction systems, resulting in high performance, lossless digital communication channels.
