A multi-chip module for hand-held digital cellular mobile telephone

The design of a dedicated multichip module (MCM) for hand-held digital cellular telephones is presented. It uses the silicon-on-silicon, flip-chip MCM technology. The MCM contains one gallium arsenide and seven CMOS VLSI chips and performs receive front-ending, all baseband signal processing, and system control functions. High frequency effects are briefly discussed.<
