This Special Section of the IEEE Journal Solid-State Circuits (JSSC) features expanded versions key articles presented at 2021 Custom Integrated Conference (CICC), which for second time in a row was fully virtual due to coronavirus pandemic. Originally planned be held Austin, TX, USA, unpredictability COVID-19 quickly lead conference organization decide (again) go format from April 25 30, 2021....

One of the most challenging tasks for analog and digital designers is to maintain circuit performances by developing novel structures, robust, reliable, capable operating with low supply voltage [...]

This paper presents a compact hybrid G-band (170–260 GHz) heterodyne receiver module incorporating both Millimeter Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) and Schottky diode-based circuit. An on-chip sextupler Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), along with Sub-Harmonic Mixer (SHM), are integrated into the demonstrated singular module, which is carefully designed arranged co-simulations in electromagnetic ...

Biomedical systems that interface with the body and nervous system in wearable implantable formats are becoming an ever more important tool our quest to enhance wellness improve health care. The global medical electronics market was estimated be worth US$6.3 billion 2021 is expected reach US$8.8 by 2026. This growth driven many factors, such as aging population increasing life expectancy, adopt...
