Abstract

The challenges and opportunities for the RF designer have perhaps never been greater. The drive to higher levels of integration in the extremely competitive cellular chipset market place; the emergence of new wireless communications links such as Bluetooth and WLAN; and the continual need to provide multi-band, multi-mode, multiservice, modulation independent, cost effective transceivers have all produced a great demand for RF design skills. This paper discusses the markets, system level specifications, and RF design challenges.
