Although RF applications use mainly IC solutions whenever possible, there are in certain aspects RF Discrete components that make them the preferred solution. This ultimately creates opportunities for considerable cost savings. There are two reasons that make RF Discretes a great choice. First, there is still a enormous need for superior performance, for example noise or Transition frequency. This means that RF Small Signal Discretes complements IC solutions in many applications. Second, lower system cost price for ‘Lower’ volume applications, meaning those applications that still require discrete solutions, such as industrial, automotive and home automation.
