The integration of baseband chips and radio frequency chips has always been a topic in the mobile phone industry. However, the integration of baseband chips and RF chips is not a topic that is really in demand at present. Silicon Laboratories has achieved a single chip design in the industry, but it has not become very popular in the market, but has been acquired. Many foreign RF professional manufacturers still have a large share of mobile phone platforms."Therefore, although the topic of full integration and integration of RF chips and baseband chips will continue to exist, there will be no real motivation to carry out this investment in the next three years." The technical person in charge of Dingxin Company said.
However, from the perspective of future development trends, it is an inevitable trend to achieve more integration of TD-SCDMA radio frequency module chips and baseband chips. Innox believes that for architecture, some value-added applications related to radio frequency will become the most likely part of RF transceiver chip integration. This architectural change will slowly transform the traditional RF transceiver part into a RF multi-service platform for multiple applications, into a transceiver + tuner integration, including GPS, digital broadcasting, etc.
