Six communication applications - 4G, mobile internet, IoTs, Cloud computing, big data, smart city - have witnessed considerable development during the past three years. As the industry supporting technology and infrastructure depends on various aspects of RF/microwave, EMC/EMI, RFID, High-Speed digital IC and related devices, the importance of CAD system have also undergone huge development. The market of High-Speed digital IC and devices will reach US$16.6 Billion by 2015. The total market value of base station, smart phone and RF/microwave devices supported by 4G and mobile internet will reach US$10~12 Billion.

This opening keynote speech introduces a survey of these six applications in China and examines how these applications help promote the development of RF/microwave, EMC/EMI, RFID, High-Speed digital IC & Devices. Examples of indigineous CAD system will be introduced. The speech will also introduce the development of CAD EDA in China and the demand and cultivation of engineering talents on behalf of Universities and industry.
