 RF Power Amplifiers
Equipment and RF Power Device Analysis for Cellular and Mobile Wireless Infrastructure Markets
RF power amplifiers are an integral part of all base stations for cellular and mobile wireless infrastructure. They represent one of the most expensive component sub-assemblies in modern wireless infrastructure equipment, and both their performance and cost are important drivers in base station design. Efficiency, physical size, linearity and reliability are among the principal concerns. As price pressures becomes fiercer, new and innovative techniques and materials must be used to reduce the cost of this important component part while still maintaining performance. The RF power semiconductors used in these power amplifiers are the lynchpin for their cost and capability, and they must keep pace with both the economic and technical realities facing designers and users of these RF power amplifiers.
This study examines all of the above topics and illuminates the interdependent relationship of RF power semiconductors to RF power amplifiers. Quantitative forecasts are presented through
