Abstract
In this chapter several 60 GHz components are presented and designed in standard CMOS technologies with intrinsically high performance without exhibiting smartness for post-fabrication performance fine tuning. In Chap. 5, smart component will be discussed which are capable of performance tuning for process spreading compensation.
