GaAs will fend off silicon CMOS in handset front-ends

Talk of silicon completely displacing GaAs in the RF front-end of cellular phones is premature and dead wrong, argues TriQuint’s Phil Warder. In his view, the future will instead involve smart RF suppliers collaborating closely with OEMs and chipset partners to offer complete RF solutions that exploit the best technologies for each application.
