A coplanar waveguide CPW using multi-layer interconnection CMOS technology is provided. In the CPW including an interlayer insulator disposed on a substrate, metal multilayers disposed on the interlayer insulator, and a ground line-a signal line-a ground line formed of an uppermost metal layer, when a ground line of a lowermost layer is connected to the ground line of the uppermost layer, intermediate metal layers are designed to gradually increase or decrease in width, or to be uneven so as to maximize an area where an ultra-high frequency spreads, thereby minimizing CPW loss and maximizing a slow wave effect. As a result, it is possible to improve performance of an ultra-high frequency circuit and miniaturize the circuit.

The present invention relates to a ROM division method for reducing the size of a ROM in a direct digital frequency synthesizer (DDFS), which is used to synthesize a frequency in a communication system requiring fast frequency conversion. A ROM consuming most energy in the system, a modified Nicholas architecture is brought forth to reduce the size of ROM. In this modified Nicholas architecture, a ROM is divided into coarse ROM and fine ROM to convert phase to sine value. The present invention divides the coarse ROM and the fine ROM into quantized ROM and error ROM respectively. Then, value stored in each ROM is segmented in certain intervals and the minimum quantized value in each of the section is stored in the quantized ROM, while the difference between the original ROM value and the quantized ROM value is stored in the error ROM. This way, the size of a ROM can be reduced. Phase value inputted in a DDFS, a sine value is calculated by adding the four ROM values, i.e., coarse-quantized ROM, coarse-error ROM, fine-quantized ROM and fine-error ROM.

An automatically gain controllable linear differential amplifier using a variable degeneration resistor is disclosed. The linear differential amplifier includes an input end, a bias current source, a load unit, a first MOS transistor and a second MOS transistor. The linear differential amplifiers of the present invention can control an amplifying gain according to an input signal and improve linearity IIP3 without needing additional power consumption caused by improving the linearity. The automatically gain controllable linear differential amplifier uses NMOS/PMOS transistor so an integration process of the amplifier can be implemented more conveniently and efficiently.
