Abstract
In a cellular radio, as in any system, the architecture determines the quantity and quality of bipolar and BiCMOS content. Requirements and merits of a few transmitter and receiver architectures are discussed. Some of these, such as single IF, are in handsets selling by the millions every year. Some, such as direct conversion at the antenna, remain in the planning stages because of the present state of A/D technology
