The RF power semiconductor market for broadcast applications has very seldom received any press or analysis. Broadcast services and the transmitters used within these services were a somewhat static affair for many years. Over the past decade though, digital broadcasting for both sound and video has become the mainstream, and new broadcast standards are firmly in place.

This study examines the major sub-segments of terrestrial broadcasting services for both audio and video, and drills down to show how the evolution of digital broadcast services will affect the RF power semiconductor devices that are used in transmitters for new and existing applications.

What Questions Does This Report Answer?

  • What are the major sub-segments of broadcast services?
  • How large is the overall RF power semiconductor market for broadcast applications?
  • How large are the individual sub-segments?
  • Who are the major device vendors and how are they positioned in the marketplace?
  • How do the vendors’ broadcast device portfolios relate to the individual services?
