Skyworks Single Package Radio - RF Cafe Forums

The original RF Cafe Forums were shut down in late 2012 due to maintenance issues - primarily having to spend time purging garbage posts from the board. At some point I might start the RF Cafe Forums again if the phpBB software gets better at filtering spam.

Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

I remember seeing info in a magazine (and online) about Skyworks and somebody else making some sort of GSM radio in a single package (module). It had (I think) the PA, transceiver, antenna switch, SAW filters, etc., in a very small molded package.

Has anynone ever actually seen one of these things or know if they're being used anywhere? I don't see anything on their websites, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. Anyone know what products they're being used in?

Any way for a non-big-time company person (aka hobbyist) to get ahold of one?

Thanks. (I'm going to put this on another of these forums, so forgive the repetition).

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
