CMOS RF design

A. A. Abidi, "RF CMOS comes of age," IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits, vol. 39, pp. 549 - 561, April 2004. This paper discusses the development of integrated CMOS radios over the last decade. More than as a technical reference, it is a good overview and contains a list of key references for different stages of the radio.
