Abstract
Increasingly, people around the world embrace the benefits provided by smart phones, smart cars, and smart homes. The key difference between smart phones and traditional mobile phones is the user-defined functionality that enables individuals to transform their phones into music players, movie theaters, or personal workstations. Smart cars with video sensors, lidar sensors, or even millimeter-wave (mm-wave) radar may be autonomously driven. When more and more user-defined functions/sensor capabilities are built into RF integrated circuits (RFICs), they are known as smart RFICs.
