Market Segmentation by RF Technologies

◉ GaN technology to be the fastest growing at a CAGR of 19% ◉ GaAs will keep strong and stable technology of choice among years ◉ Vacuum tube parts (TWT) will have a CAGR of -4.8% as they will be replaced by solid state components with years.

Materials Advantages GaAs Gallium Arsenide High thermal stability, low noise, resistance to radiation GaN Gallium Nitride High power output at high frequency, high thermal stability SiC Silicon Carbide High power and high voltage switching power applications
