RF Integrated ICs

RFIC is an abbreviation of Radio Frequency Integrated Circuit. Applications for RFICs include radar and communications, although the term RFIC might be applied to any integrated electrical circuit operating in a frequency range suitable for wireless transmission.
There is considerable interest in RFIC research due to the cost benefit of shifting as much of the wireless transceiver as possible to a single technology, which in turn would allow for a system-on-chip solution as opposed to the more common system-on-package.
