The drive for integration:

Summary form only given. As the handset emerges as a platform for the convergence of communications applications, the requirements for smaller, easier-to-implement components are necessary in order to make room for application pm~ssors, display requirements and memory chips. Fully-integrated, mixed-signal ICs that offer high pedormance, flexibility and ease-of-use will continue to dominate the cellular handset market. Monolithic RF ICs in CMOS will enable the technology leap required to meet the challenging integration and cost savings gods of handset manufacturers.
