Integrated Systems Seminar Series

Speaker: Russ Reisner, Skyworks

Talk Title: RF Front End Architectures for Mobile Phone Platforms, Trends Today and in the Next Decade

Abstract: An overview will be given of the RF transmit components in between
the antenna and transceiver of Smart phones including discussions of where the market is driving technology, implementations and architecture trade-offs, the problem of power,
and RF device technology trends. Some of the newer technologies such as envelope tracking will be discussed as well.
