STRATEGY ANALYTICS: Strategy Analytics: Microelectronics Companies Target High Frequency Applications; Hittite, NXP, TriQuint Release Products Operating Above 10 GHz(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Boston, MA -- Microelectronics companies continue to focus development on high performance, high frequency applications in defense, test and measurement, very small aperture terminal (VSAT) and microwave radios. The Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) viewpoint, "Compound Semiconductor Industry Review July-September 2011: Microelectronics," captures product, technology, contract and financial announcements for companies, such as RFMD, Skyworks Solutions, ANADIGICS, Agilent, Hittite Microwave, TriQuint Semiconductor, Avago, NXP Semiconductors, Microsemi, Renesas Electronics and Murata Manufacturing. "Handset products dominate compound semiconductor revenue, yet there is still a substantial amount of product development aimed at high frequency market applications," noted Eric Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service. "While these products do not offer the volume of some of the commercial market opportunities, high frequency market applications provide an opportunity for device manufacturers to differentiate their products based on superior performance". Asif Anwar, Director, Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice, added, "In addition to military applications which require high frequency, broadband performance, there is a growing number of VSAT and microwave radio applications operating at higher frequencies." This viewpoint summarizes financial, product, contract and employment developments from major compound semiconductor device suppliers, addressing a variety of commercial and military applications that use gallium arsenide (GaAs), gallium nitride (GaN), Silicon carbide (SiC), silicon germanium (SiGe) and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies.
