WIRELESS SEMICONDUCTOR MARKETS ARE POISED FOR GROWTH

SEMICONDUCTORS represent a starting point for most circuit and systems designers. In all their functions (i.e., amplification, frequency tra nslation, or switching) discrete and integrated-circuit (IC) semicondu ctors have paved the way for the current explosion in commercial wirel ess applications throughout the world, In many ways, the pressures of competition in wireless markets have forced many semiconductor manufac turers to formulate true long-term marketing and development plans for the first time.
