Title :
Cellular handset integration
Abstract :
The article examines cellular wireless evolution from 1G (analog cellular) up to the present day, 4G (wideband network). The following conclusions are made: approximately 1 billion phones/year to be produced; cost challenge in low end market; there are higher costs, areas and power in the high end; lots of air interfaces are available; Moore´s Law meets logic and memory challenge; single-chip integration offers compelling benefit for analog/RF; and new air interfaces are coming soon.
