What is the future of RFIC Design in CMOS/SiGe ?
WLAN has slowed, WiMax is not taking off.
What is left-even cellular has slowed.
Any hope ?
Please give advice !
Thanks.

yeah , they are slowed down , but still there are alot of jobs out there , even many startups begin to launch like sirific, and so on
almost now all work in multistandard RFIC
and don't worry always RF engineers find new standards to be done , and the work continue
i am about to finish my master , and see alot of optimism in the air or u can say wish

If I recall correctly RFIC increases 19% while IC industry increases 4% last year
Also in universities the research focus are shifting from mixed signal to RF IC in many cases. This also gives some hint

yeah , from now , work in new technologies , like
FINFETs , sub 32 nm CMOS , things will change , and new topologies need to be made for analog and RF
also i am planning after MSc , seek a PhD position out there
another thing , u can work in SDR , there is a great interest in such receivers
what do u have in mind about research ?
