Dynamics within the RF High-Power Semiconductors



The most exciting here, resides in Gallium Nitride (GaN) that is capturing momentous market share of RF high-power semiconductors, especially in wireless infrastructure.


The technology bridges the gap between two older technologies, exhibiting the high-frequency performance of Gallium Arsenide and power handling capabilities of Silicon LDMOS.

According to findings from ABI Research’s RF Power Semiconductors, from the overall market that recorded over $1.5 billion in 2015; spending on RF high-power semiconductors for the wireless infrastructure markets flattened out this year, despite the fact that the overall market hit well over $1.5 billion in 2015. 

One can also observe that, defense-oriented market segments show the strongest performance; so that many experts in the industry believe these defense-oriented segments will drive the momentum.
