\section{Discussion \& Conclusion}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Discussion \& Conclusion}
\begin{itemize}
\item Own simulations
\begin{itemize}
\item Better results to be expected (technology with higher $f_\text{t}$, $f_\text{max}$, stability not considered)
\item Maybe better results by using current mirrors to set operating points of buffer instead of resistors
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
\item General structure
\begin{itemize}
\item Removal of $g_\text{m}$ stage of Gilbert cell $\rightarrow$ more voltage headroom
\item High bandwidth TIA and inductive peaking $\rightarrow$ high bandwidth
\item Differential to single-ended conversion $\rightarrow$ dense chip-to-package transition
\end{itemize}
\bigskip
\item Applications of this design
\begin{itemize}
\item SiGe HBT technology integrable with CMOS $\rightarrow$ scalable, suitable for mixed-signal ICs
\item Ideal for electronic beam stearing in mm-Wave applications (because of small size, moderate noise figure)
\end{itemize}
\end{itemize}
