Abstract :
This paper describes breakthroughs in RF integrated circuits that can drastically reduce the physical size of hand-held communication devices. Product developments in CMOS technology are emphasized so that the cost of the systems using these new ICs is also substantially improved. CMOS technology also offers a common platform to integrate most of the circuitry between the antenna and the audio interface (microphone/speaker). Specific examples are discussed for current and future standards such as GSM, PCS1900, DCS1800, DECT, DCT, and CTII
