Will GaAs Survive for Wireless PA's ??
نویسنده
چکیده
Silicon based technologies, SiGe HBT and CMOS, have captured almost all of the cellular handset application space with the exception of the RF power amplifier. In time will they also push GaAs out of these sockets? For cellular base stations Si LDMOS is the dominant technology, but as wireless applications move to higher frequencies, will GaAs displace Si LDMOS or lose out to the rapidly developing GaN technology? This paper will discuss and attempt to answer these important questions.
