Abstract
The complexity of electronic systems being designed today is increasing in many dimensions: on one hand the number of components is growing constantly, on the other several radically different functions must be integrated. For example, in the exploding personal communications market, a product is the combination of wireless transmission, analog and digital signal processing, and digital computing. Antennas, radio-frequency components, and analog and digital sub-systems have to be designed in a unified way to meet the performance, power, and size constraints imposed by the application.
