Introduction
A radio frequency (RF) amplifier is a tuned amplifier that amplifies high-frequency signals used in radio communications. By changing the inductance or capacitance of the tuned circuit, the frequency at which maximum gain occurs in an RF amplifier is made variable. RF amplifiers can tune over the desired range of input frequencies and have numerous application areas across various industry verticals, including defense, consumer electronics, and healthcare. RF power amplifiers are the core parts of all base stations for cellular and mobile wireless infrastructure. The RF power semiconductors used in power amplifiers are essential for their cost and capability, and they must keep pace with both the economic and technical realities facing designers and users of these RF power amplifiers.
The increasing demand from cellular networks, and the rising adoption of the internet of things (IoT) technology are the major drivers for the RF power amplifier market. However, high operating costs and the dynamic nature of the semiconductor industry may hamper the market growth. Enterprises can seek opportunities as there is continuous innovation in linearization and power efficiency of RF power amplifier.
