Abstract
Wireless telecommunications will enter a new era in the coming years. New systems and new customer needs are already introducing vast challenges, in particular for the implementation of the terminals. The RF section is a major contributor to the size and cost of the terminal. Consequently, the winning terminal implementations will be those with the best RF section.
None of the implementation technologies alone seem to provide the full answer to the RF challenges. Instead, the winning RF will be achieved by careful joint optimisation of the overall technology portfolio with the proper radio architecture.
