✦ Synopsis

However, research director Lance Wilson is cautious:"The shape of the industry five years hence will depend on two critical shorter-term questions.At the manufacturing level, will the introduction of gallium nitride and silicon carbide as basic materials for the fabrication of RF power semiconductors mean the demise of Si LDMOS? And with mobile/3G infrastructure markets in decline, will they continue to drive the RF power semiconductor industry as they have in the past?"

To answer these and other questions,ABI Research undertook a market sizing study for all RF power semiconductors with power outputs above 5W, operating at frequencies of 3.8GHz and below. (A later study will target those operating at higher frequencies.) The study sizes the RF power semiconductor market into six usage-based segments and 22 sub-segments, providing a highly detailed, market-driven analysis.
