Robert Castellano submits:Strong wireless demand created the best growth in Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) integrated circuits - a critical component for supporting cell phone functionality - since 2003, according to the report “The GaAs IC Market,” recently published by The Information Network.
Every cell phone contains power amplifiers (PA), which enable the handset to transmit voice and data back to the base station tower, which routes a call to another phone number or Internet address. PAs, the most critical radio frequency component in the phone, are currently dominated by circuits made with Gallium Arsenide (GaAs).
