GaAs IC's Will Dominate WLAN Power Amplifiers and Switches
London, England - September 22, 2003 -The new Strategy Analytics, GaAs and High Speed Circuits (GaAs) service report, "GaAs Device Demand from WLAN Applications," forecasts 139 percent growth in the WLAN GaAs IC market in 2003, and a compound annual average growth rate of 21 percent through to 2008.
Switches and power amplifiers will represent the main opportunities for GaAs devices. By 2008, GaAs power amplifiers will account for 67 percent of the 177 million units shipped. Strategy Analytics predicts that all WLAN switch ICs will use GaAs technology, with dual-band systems that cover 5GHz and 2.4Ghz frequencies incorporating up to two switches per system.
