On-chip automatic tuning of CMOS active inductors for use in radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) applications

The lack of high quality factor integrated inductors is a significant impediment to realizing high performance Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) within conventional digital CMOS. While passive spiral inductors continue to improve with different approaches and fabrication techniques, they t...
