GaAs Players at MWC Raise Bar with Dual-Mode PAs



TriQuint and RFMD vie for "first-to-market" status

Boston, MA - 5 March 2009 - The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies (GaAs) service report, "GaAs Device Suppliers Offer Dual-Mode Solutions at MWC," concludes that the forthcoming availability of dual-mode power amplifiers (PAs) was the most significant announcement from the GaAs industry at this year's Mobile World Congress.

With a plethora of UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) frequency bands, one of the challenges for the GaAs (gallium arsenide) industry is providing solutions that provide the widest possible operational range while continuing to reduce size and cost. To this end, both RFMD and TriQuint announced the forthcoming availability of dual-mode power amplifier solutions at MWC.

"Dual-mode PA solutions offer the potential to reduce footprint and cost in W-EDGE cellphones by allowing a single amplification element to do the job of two," noted Asif Anwar at Strategy Analytics. "Based on the announcements at MWC, TriQuint and RFMD are leading the industry in the development of dual mode solutions with product shipments expected in 2010."

Other notable GaAs industry announcements analyzed in the Strategy Analytics report:
  • Anadigics announced several PA modules for multimode 3G, LTE and WiMAX mobile devices.
  • Avago Technologies announced a low noise amplifier module for use in wireless infrastructure applications.
  • Skyworks introduced a portfolio of PAs and front-end modules for LTE.
