Communications
Whether transmitting critical medical information, reporting news or linking people with family and friends, communications systems connect the world. Designers of these broadband systems have come to rely on Analog Devices to make a difference in their designs. That’s why virtually every wireless call, text, picture or download today passes through an ADI IC. Our broad portfolio of RF ICs, data converters, amplifiers, clocks and power devices enable the low power, high capacity, and cost-effective results demanded in the network of point-to-point communications systems, private mobile radios, and wireless infrastructure equipment.
