Summary: 
This paper highlights seven years of research at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) related to mm-wave electronics. Active and passive device design and layout, circuit approaches, and system architecture for short range mm-wave communication links will be discussed. The design of several key building blocks in a receiver front-end will be highlighted.
