CMOS Takes a Stab at Deflating GaAs' RF Dominance.
GPS
Achieves High Navigation Sensitivity and Even Finds a Home Inside
Buildings
GPS has become very popular in personal orientation, vehicle
navigation, recreation, maritime and aviation. Today, end users are
demanding even higher GPS coverage so positioning becomes possible in
building interiors such as airports, convention centers and shopping
malls.

Defined Radio
An Integrated Test Method for Designing Software Communications
Architecture (SCA) Compliant Radios.
Low-Cost
GSM/GPRS System with E-GOLDradio CMOS Single-Chip
Solution
E-GOLDradio as a GSM/GPRS Single-Chip solution is the latest
evolutionary step from Infineon in the area of monolithic integration
of digital, mixed-signal and radio frequency functionality on a
single-die in standard CMOS technology.
A
Low-Power Receiver Architecture for Interference Robust UWB
Radio
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) wireless communications promises unprecedented
levels of seamless connectivity between consumer electronics devices,
enabling gigabytes of data to be transmitted in seconds rather than
hours without exhausting the batteries of handheld portable devices
such as digital cameras, audio jukeboxes and mobile
phones.
