Report: Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits to Grow at 6 Percent Annually through 2013
TMCnet Contributor Radio-frequency Integrated Circuits – analog circuits that allow devices to transmit and receive signals and data – are fast emerging as important technologies in communications, researchers say.
Though RFICs have been around for some time, they were too expensive and their power levels were too low to make much of an impact in the past.
But over the years, their pricing and power levels have become more competitive, and they now have an impact on the industry.
“High-power RFICs have become a powerful disruptive force in this important market segment,” says ABI Research (News - Alert), a provider of market intelligence and analysis helping clients to make informed business decisions.
A new report from ABI indicates that the growth rate in shipment numbers is expected to be stabilized in 2011, but, on an average between 2008 and 2013, the revenue growth from this market will be around 6 percent.
The firm’s optimistic forecasts for the penetration of high-powered RF integrated circuits into the mobile wireless base station market have been borne out by the latest market developments.
“Compared to the discrete devices they can replace, high-power RFICs take up less circuit board space; they are easier to use; and they cost the same or slightly less,” said Lance Wilson, research director at ABI Research.
ABI Research’s recent report, “High-Power RFICs,” identifies some of the significant factors contributing to the growth of RFIC market. The report also discusses about the device technologies and the vendor landscape, with interesting explanation on this technology’s disruptive potential. More over, the report contains new, accelerated forecasts.
High-Power RFIC report forms part of two ABI Research Services: RF Power Devices and Wireless Semiconductors. RF Power Devices report is a highly segmented market-based analysis of the Silicon, Gallium nitride, Gallium arsenide and Silicon Carbide high power RF device technologies. The Wireless Semiconductors research service covers all technology and market issues releated to semiconductor supplier roadmap strategies and competitive positioning, component analysis, application-specific components, process technologies and IC architecture, design, and integration issues.
According to the analyst, this new breed of high-powered RFICs is typically applied in base stations for cellular and other wireless infrastructure. ABI Research has specified in its report that the pace of this market adoption will only increase over time.
