Learn the fundamentals of integrated communication microsystems

Advanced communication microsystems--the latest technology to emerge in the semiconductor sector after microprocessors--require integration of diverse signal processing blocks in a power-efficient and cost-effective manner. Typically, these systems include data acquisition, data processing, telemetry, and power management. The overall development is a synergy among system, circuit, and component-level designs with a strong emphasis on integration.
