• Cellular phones have come a long way from analog communication devices to digital mobile computers.
• Today, a cellular phone is a paradigm of an embedded system having highly optimized cost, size, efficiency and performance.
• Challenges in RF circuits, implementation architecture, memory, and power consumption are still affecting the development and growth of mobile devices.
• New technologies such as decentralized architectures, reconfigurable circuits, advanced memories, and low power designs will help overcome challenges.
ConclusionsConclusions

Why is it called Cellular?
•An antenna tower handles calls from a short distance from it (Base Station)
•More antenna towers means more users can talk on cell phones▫Lower power the cell phone emits▫Repeat the frequencies used
•The antennas form small cells of coverage around the city
