Base Station Power Amplifier Transistor Market Expected to Exceed $1 Billion in 2014

­Power amplifier (PA) transistor revenue from base stations will grow from nearly $520 million in 2009 to slightly more than $1 billion in 2014, according to a report from Strategy Analytics. Consumer adoption of new applications, growing wireless subscriptions and next generation standards are fueling base station and PA growth.  more

3G Base Station Amplifiers That Can Reduce Waste Heat Nearly 50%

TriQuint tested the first of its new HV-HBT amplifiers in a design commonly used by base station amplifier manufacturers that pairs devices in a 'Doherty' configuration. Used in this manner, the devices delivered an efficiency level of 57%, surpassing the efficiencies available using either conventional laterally-diffused metal oxide semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors or more expensive gallium nitride (GaN) devices.  more

Is Mobile Wireless Infrastructure the Best Target Market for Gallium Nitride?

Today, gallium nitride is entering the mainstream of process technologies for RF power semiconductor devices. Apart from some military applications and microwave communications, most of the interest in GaN is centered on mobile wireless infrastructure and WiMAX. But according to a new research brief from ABI Research, the economics of this price-sensitive sector may mean that it is the wrong playing field for GaN. more
