40 GHz miniature bandpass filter design in standard CMOS process

An on-chip high performance 40 GHz miniature bandpass filter is presented. Implemented in a standard CMOS process without any extra post processing, the filter features include small size (72/spl times/400 /spl mu/m/sup 2/) and low insertion loss (1.1 dB) by using a high slow-wave-factor coplanar stripline (HS-CPS).
