end for an IEEE 802.11 a/b/g wireless LAN is described. The chip is implemented in a 0.25-
/spl mu/m CMOS technology and occupies a total silicon area of 23 mm/sup 2/. The IC
transmits 9 dBm/8 dBm error vector magnitude (EVM)-compliant output power for a 64-QAM
OFDM signal. The overall receiver noise figure is 5.5/4.5 dB at 5 GHz/2.4 GHz. The phase
noise is-105 dBc/Hz at a 10-kHz offset and the spurs are below-64 dBc when measured at …
