RF CMOS is a
wireless revolution with the introduction of digital signal processing in wireless communications. The development and design of RF CMOS devices was enabled by van der Ziel's FET RF noise model, which was published in the early 1960s and remained largely forgotten until the 1990s.[3][4]

History
UCLA
during the late 1980s to early 1990s.Pakistani engineer
Abidi was researching analog CMOS circuits for
There was a rapid growth of the
wireless revolution, leading to the rapid growth of the wireless industry.[12]
In the early 2000s, RF CMOS chips with
radio transceivers in all wireless networking devices and modern mobile phones are mass-produced as RF CMOS devices.[8]
Applications
The
Examples of commercial RF CMOS chips include Intel's
Atheros and other companies.[17] Commercial RF CMOS products are also used for Bluetooth and Wireless LAN (WLAN) networks.[18] RF CMOS is also used in the radio transceivers for wireless standards such as GSM, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, transceivers for mobile networks such as 3G, and remote units in wireless sensor networks (WSN).[19]
RF CMOS technology is crucial to modern wireless communications, including wireless networks and
RF switches sell over 1 billion units annually, reaching a cumulative 5 billion units, as of 2018[update].[20]
Practical software-defined radio (SDR) for commercial use was enabled by RF CMOS, which is capable of implementing an entire software-defined radio system on a single MOS IC chip.[21][22][23] RF CMOS began to be used for SDR implementations during the 2000s.[22]
