Substantial Markets for MMICs Built Using Compound Semiconductors

摘要

A recently released report from Engalco ("The Compound Semiconductor MMICs Report") indicates that the global markets for such CS MMICs will grow steadily from $2.6 B in 2006 to over 5.1 B in 2014. MMICs using GaAs, GaN, InP, InGaP and SiGe are considered and the report focuses on the following application segments: cell phones, defense, ISM, SATCOM and wireless infrastructure. CS MMICs are implemented as switches, amplifiers, oscillators, frequency synthesizers, frequency converters and complete transceivers.
