From an article on RFMD (10/20/99) - a supplier to QCOM. Probably in the shiney pebble category, but looks interesting. Just starting some DD. Anyone familiar with this company?

Excerpts:

For RF Micro's fiscal second quarter, ended Sept. 30,
revenue of $68.9 million was up 119% from the prior year
and 11% higher sequentially. Earnings came in at $12.5
million, or $0.15 per share, compared to $2.4 million, or
$0.03 per share in the year ago period

The ability to manufacture a sufficient quantity of products is
extremely important for handset manufacturers, as there
have been warnings of component shortages of late. This is
where RF Micro has an advantage over its competitors,
especially in the area of HBT technology, which is extremely
important for CDMA applications, which is the air interface
standard that will drive third generation (3G) wireless
capabilities.

On the CDMA front, RF Micro is making good progress.
CDMA sales accounted for about 25% of second quarter
revenue...

RF Micro also said it will again supply Qualcomm
(NASDAQ: QCOM) with
components for CDMA applications, a customer it has not
worked with for several years. This again validates RF
Micro's position as a reliable component supplier, as
Qualcomm preciously dropped it as a [supplier] due to
insufficient capacity.
