Suppliers of power amplifiers, front-end modules and transceivers emphasised their strong product mixes to provision custom solutions at handset OEMs at 3GSM 2007.

According to the Strategy Analytics GaAs service report on 3GSM 2007, suppliers of power amplifiers, front-end modules and transceivers emphasised their strong product mixes to provision custom solutions at handset OEMs - including cost-effective solutions for emerging regional markets and leading-edge products to meet the challenges of W-CDMA and beyond Details on these products are can be found in "3GSM 2007 show report: power amplifiers, front-end modules and transceivers"

GPRS handsets will continue to make up a significant portion of the cellular handset market, especially in emerging regional markets, while the momentum behind 3G/3.5G, and its successors, emphasises requirements for multimode and multiband architectures.

GaAs device manufacturers demonstrated products at both ends of the spectrum.

"Power amplifier (PA) manufacturers demonstrated complete families of power amplifiers and front-end modules that can be catered to specific handset OEM requirements", noted Asif Anwar, Director, GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies for Strategy Analytics.

"Companies demonstrated simple PA modules to PA-filter modules incorporating SAW and BAW filter technologies as well as multiband front-end transmit modules that included GaAs HBT and GaAs pHEMT technologies".

Christopher Taylor, Director, RF and Wireless Components for Strategy Analytics, added: "Handset OEMs need solutions that will work across multiple regions by supporting W-CDMA, Edge and legacy GSM and GPRS modes".

"At 3GSM, transceiver makers demonstrated multiband W-Edge transceivers".

"Also notable was that most of the transceivers announced at the 3GSM conference were based on CMOS rather than SiGe, demonstrating the evolving maturity of CMOS technology".
