This paper describes the RF front-end chip-set for ISMband wireless applications. It contains a high powerSPDT switch, a Low Noise Amplifier and a PowerAmplifier. A novel design approach has been adaptedto carry out the designs to achieve the best possibleperformance on various parameters like low noisefigure, high speed, low insertion loss, good linearityand good power added efficiency. A unique processtechnology has been identified to realize theseconflicting specifications simultaneously. Thephilosophy of realization of all these designs ascascadable blocks has eased the integration issues as asingle chip-set. The novelty of the design is that theMMIC chip can be used for ISM band RF front-end aswell as the constituent blocks can be used individuallyas independent ICs.
