RF ICs means Radio-frequency Integrated Circuit.
Radio-frequency ICs (RFICs) are widely used in mobile phones and wireless devices. RFICs are analog circuits that usually run in the frequency range of 3 kHz to 2.4 GHz (3,000 hertz to 2.4 billion hertz), circuits that would work at about 1 THz (1 trillion hertz) being in development. They are usually thought of as ASICs even though some may be configurable for several similar applications.
Most semiconductor circuits that operate above 500 MHz (500 million hertz) cause the electronic components and their connecting paths to interfere with each other in unusual ways. Engineers must use special design techniques to deal with the physics of high-frequency microelectronic interactions.
