RF Power Semiconductor Devices

A Highly Segmented Market-Based Analysis of the Silicon, Gallium Nitride, Gallium Arsenide and Silicon Carbide High Power RF Device Technologies



A myriad services utilize RF power amplifiers in their transmitter circuitry: wireless infrastructure for cell phones and other mobile devices; radio and television broadcasting; medical equipment such as MRI machines; materials curing that includes carpet fibers and plywood; radar; space and satellite communications; police and fire radios; and military communications and electronics of all kinds. Most of these transmitters use semiconductors in the RF power amplifier output stages. Even modern, extremely high power broadcast transmitters that traditionally have used large vacuum tubes in their RF sections, have finally given way to solid-state devices. This report examines RF Power Semiconductor Devices that have power outputs of greater than 5 watts and at frequencies of up to 3.8 GHz, which represent the bulk of applications in use today.
