Mitsubishi Electric Launched 50W Silicon RF High-power MOSFET Module for Commercial Two-way Radio

On July 14^th, 2022; Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced the launch of a 50W silicon radio-frequency (RF) high-power metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) module for use in a commercial two-channel high-frequency power amplifier of commercial two-way radios. This model, which offers an industry-leading 50W power output in the 763MHz to 870MHz band and high overall efficiency of 2 of 40%, is expected to help extend the radio communication range and reduce power consumption.

Samsung Electronics Developed 8-Nanometer RF Chip Process Technology

On June 9th, 2021; Samsung Electronics developed 8-nanometer (nm) process technology for radio frequency (RF) chips as the South Korean tech giant eyes to bolster its foundry services for 5G mobile semiconductors. Samsung said its 8nm foundry will deliver 5G single-chip RF solutions supporting the sub-6-GHz to millimeter wave spectrum. An RF integrated circuit is a semiconductor device used for the reception or transmission of radio frequency signals and for analog-to-digital conversion in connection with a model chip.

Increasing Demand for Cellular and Mobile Wireless, Rising Use of Long-Term Evolution (LTE), and Growing Number of Smartphone Users are Some of the Major Factors Driving the Market Growth

One of the major factors driving the growth of the RF power semiconductor market is the increasing demand for cellular and mobile wireless. These RF devices are important components in all base stations for cellular and mobile wireless infrastructure. For instance; according to the IEEE Communication Society, on October 26^th, 2019; by the end of 2018, more than 23 billion IoT devices were installed globally. And the number of devices is expected to triple to 75 billion by 2025. Rapidly increasing demand for cellular and mobile wireless will contribute to the growth of the market.

In addition, the rising use of long-term evolution (LTE) is also boosting the growth of the RF power semiconductor market. Increasing use of long-term evolution (LTE) and deployment of next-generation wireless networks such as 5G are key factors expected to positively impact the growth of the global market. Revolutionary transactions for advanced LTE as well as 5G implementation are expected to drive the RF power semiconductors market in the coming years. Not only for smartphones but also for many RF telecommunication infrastructure applications, 5G offers tremendous business opportunities for RF power semiconductors. The transition towards advanced radio telecommunication networks requires high frequencies for efficient connectivity, which will increase the demand for RF power semiconductors worldwide. Moreover, the growing number of smartphone users is also supplementing the RF power semiconductor market growth. For instance; according to scientist research publishing; in June 2018; the number of smartphone users worldwide reached 2.5 billion, which is 33% of the world's population.

However, the high cost of the radio frequency devices associated with RF power semiconductors may hinder the growth of the global RF power semiconductor market. Despite that, the rising trend of digitalization and increase in smart city projects may create more opportunities for the further growth of the global RF power semiconductor market.
