Built-in handset antennas enable FM transceivers in mobile phones
Small form factors and the elimination of wires in favor of cordless peripherals, such as Bluetooth earpieces, restricts the size and gain of passive antennas that can be implemented in wireless handsets. However, a unique passive structure tailored for FM radio and directly interfaced to amplifier circuitry forms an active antenna module suitable for emerging mobile device applications....

Adopting an RFIC application-programming interface
With increasing integration on RF chips used in cellular handsets, programming requirements have grown considerably. This increased complexity runs counter to the ever-tightening life cycle of cellular handsets. One solution is to use a "hardware" application-programming interface (API). This article will provide some guidelines for developing an API. Plus, it will focus on pitfalls to avoid, as well as weigh some of the costs vs. benefits of adopting such an approach....

The new face of ZigBee
It seems like only yesterday that everyone used rotary-style landlines and the idea of using a cellular handset was some far-off notion. Today though, virtually everyone has a cellular handset and the idea of using a landline is quickly going out of fashion. But that's not the extent of the changes ahead....
