Tom - interesting that QCOM has added SiGe for their next-generation chipset: qualcomm.com DSP chipset, doesn't include the power amplifier. Silicon germanium is used for the low noise amplifier in the RFR3100 Receive Processor. IBM's CommQuest subsidiary offers an integrated GSM cellular chipset that likewise uses SiGe for a low noise amplifier.
