First Generation High Voltage Vertical FET

byHVVi Semiconductors Inc.

Radio Frequency (RF) power amplifiers play a critical role in a broad range of wireless applications, including infrastructure for mobile devices and cell phones, broadcasting and medical equipment, satellite and military communications, emergency radios, and radar. Increasing demands on overall system performance, in turn, translates into added pressure on power amplifiers to deliver excellent efficiency (for low power consumption), linearity, and reliability at a reasonable size and cost.
