Future is in wireless!

The wireless Internet will introduce revolutionary new applications that pave the way toward a mobile information society. Third generation mobile communication systems and broadband wireless access systems will play the key role in enabling wireless Internet. Because of rapidly increasing system complexity, wireless terminal manufacturers face huge challenges in ensuring fast product creation. In the radio frequency section, the main challenge is to achieve high overall linearity with low power consumption and low implementation complexity. In the baseband section, managing complexity remains the key challenge; it requires a paradigm shift in system and IC design practices, the design re-use of circuit blocks.
