Abstract

A digital radio transceiver integrated circuit includes MOS transistors with normal threshold voltages in the digital circuits, and with reduced threshold voltages in at least some of the analog RF components. This allows the transceiver to be reduced in size and weight, without requiring performance to be compromised.
