Developing hardware for 3G systems is challenging. This technology will improve time-to-market and simplify design. It's no surprise that the mobile phone market is growing steadily—about 500 million mobile phones are in use worldwide. And, though the market is still primarily voice-based, additional services requiring broad bandwidths are gaining increased attention. As the popularity of these services grows, however, a number of hardware challenges exist in designing the baseband hardware for 3G terminals. Fortunately, there are also solutions.
