TD-SCDMA, China and GSM Still Lead RF Power Amplifier and Device Markets

摘要

Rapid Chinese TD-SCDMA rollouts and the often-maligned GSM/GPRS/EDGE equipment markets have benefited the base station RF power amplifier and RF power device markets. GSM/GPRS/EDGE RFPAs and devices are still shipping in the millions. The Asia-Pacific region is presently accounting for more than 50 percent of the RF power semiconductor devices sold into the mobile wireless infrastructure segment. Now, according to Research Director Lance Wilson, "Recent Chinese TD-SCDMA base station deployments have been massive and have buoyed RF power vendor to a tremendous degree."
