We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "CMOS process",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Programmable transceiver covers a broad band from
BitWave Semiconductor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Fully software configurable across all channels in the frequency bands between 700MHz and 3.8GHz".
The same day,
we featured the news release RF module has Mobile WiMAX covered from
Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe: "Module incorporates an RF IC, antenna switches, a power amplifier, filters and an oscillator circuit, all housed in a package measuring just 15 x 15 x 1.5mm".
In February 2008, we covered the news from Coresonic
- take a look at Paper to describe novel programmable baseband
which says: "Fully programmable baseband processor will enable standards such as mobile WiMAX and DVB-T/H to be implemented much more efficiently than fixed-function circuits".
Take a look also at the news release from STMicroelectronics, Mobile audio device integrates power management,
as well as Wafer share scheme brings 45nm to academia from STMicroelectronics,
and Compact DAC offers easy installation from STMicroelectronics.
