The Partnership Paradox

摘要

We see, in the pursuit of performance, greater use of advanced RF, mixed digital and analog signals, and ultra high-speed circuitry that, when designed in tandem, can effectively deliver seamless connectivity across all our coveted consumer electronics. Indeed, the complexity of these devices increases exponentially to the number of features we desire and space reductions we crave (let's call this Kathy's First Postulate). Product differentiation has become the critical component of the design, often trumping function. It adds another layer of constraint: the form factor equation.
