Eric Higham, Service Director, Advanced Semiconductor Applications service commented: "The performance advantages of GaN fit nicely with the requirements of new LTE base station power amplifiers". He added, "Despite an anticipated decline in the base station power market, we anticipate that GaN revenue will increase as more equipment manufacturers convert to the technology".
Asif Anwar, Service Director, Advanced Defense Systems service added: "As countries undertake new platform builds and retrofits, RF GaN revenue in defense applications will grow faster than the overall market, bringing it on par with commercial RF GaN revenue by 2020".
