World Handset Radio Frequency (RF) -Semiconductor Markets
Frost & Sullivan, Sep 2003
Demand for High-performance Products with a Short Time-to-market Window Spurs Manufacturers to Enhance Their Offerings
The persisting demand for low-priced compact handsets enabled with rich features, compels radio frequency (RF) semiconductor manufacturers to design, develop, and deliver high-performance devices that meet the specification requirements of handset manufacturers. A significant challenge for the RF semiconductor manufacturers is the need to keep pace with the shortened design cycles of handsets. Semiconductor suppliers need to evolve with technological advancements and differentiate their products by incorporating additional functionalities. This has to be done while maintaining a check on the cost as the market is highly competitive and price-performance ratio is the key differentiator.
This research service analyzes the global markets for handset RF semiconductors. It provides an analysis of market drivers, restraints, and forecasts, identifying areas of growth. The study covers markets segments including RF switches, filters (RF, IF, and duplexers), power amplifiers (PA), low-noise amplifiers, frequency synthesizers, and transceivers.
Integration Provokes Industry Growth
Integration is rapidly increasing in RF semiconductors, driven by the need for reduced form factor and additional features in a handset. Advances in process technologies that enable high levels of integration aid handset manufacturers to shrink the size of handsets to amazing levels while including attractive additional applications and functionalities.
Being a price-sensitive and competitive market, only those semiconductor suppliers that can provide highly integrated modular solutions at agreeable costs with simplified designs, which can easily be interfaced with existing/emerging baseband technologies will be able to seize the immense opportunities and reap the rewards, says the author of the study.
Growth in Handset Sales Triggered by the Incorporation of Enhanced Services Further Assists Growth of RF Semiconductors Market
The evolution of handsets from single mode devices to multimode, multiband ones and the continuous incorporation of innovative applications such as the Bluetooth and GPS are expected to foster growth in the handset RF semiconductor market. These functions and features require high-performing semiconductor devices built on cutting-edge technologies involving efficient process technologies. The transition towards a modular solution that is driving the trend towards a complete radio solution necessitates the development of advanced RF devices. These RF solutions that deliver high performance will also aid in strengthening the dollar value of the RF semiconductor content per handset.
