consumption in both high power and low power modes. Envelope tracking designs modulate the PA supply voltage to match the demands of the input RF signal. In Envelope Tracking designs, HELP3DC PAs can provide world-class performance and efficiency.


The highly integrated modules features an RF coupler, internal voltage regulation, integrated DC blocks on RF ports and come in 3 mm x 3 mm x 1 mm packages.


CS product development reflects market diversification


Strategy Analytics says some companies such as RFMD, Skyworks, Anadigics, Hittite, Analog Devices, Panasonic and NXP are expanding their product lines into defence and broadband.


Even while the handset portion of the compound semiconductor market remains the largest revenue producer, Strategy Analytics sees that leading device suppliers are diversifying their portfolios by developing additional products for infrastructure, broadband and military applications.


The recently published Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service (GaAs) viewpoint, “Compound Semiconductor Industry Review March 2011: Microelectronics,” captures March 2011 product, financial, contract and technology announcements for microelectronic companies such as RFMD, Skyworks Solutions, Hittite Microwave, Anadigics, TriQuint Semiconductor Analogue Devices and NXP.


“The handset market continues to drive compound semiconductor volume, but rapid price erosion poses a challenge for suppliers,” noted Eric Higham, Director of the Strategy Analytics GaAs and Compound Semiconductor Technologies Service.


“The March product announcements show activity aimed at CATV, fibre, military and test and measurement markets, as companies try to capture higher margin opportunities.”


On a GAAP basis, net revenue for the third fiscal quarter of 2011 was $454.0 million and net income was $38.6 million, or $0.16 per share. This compares to net revenue of $473.5 million and net income of $23.6 million, or $0.10 per share for the prior quarter. This represents a 26.8% increase over the same quarter last year where net revenue was $332.3 million and net loss was $(11.9) million, or $(0.05) per share.

Asif Anwar, Director, Strategy Analytics Strategic Technologies Practice added, “Some companies are expanding product lines into defence and broadband, which uses new processes to diversify market penetration.”


This viewpoint summarises March 2011 financial, product, contract and employment developments from major GaAs and silicon suppliers, which addresses a variety of commercial and military applications that use GaAs, GaN, Silicon SiC, and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technologies.


JDSU revenues jump by 26.8%


The company benefited this quarter from the strong mix of new products as the result of its collaborative innovations in optical communications and test and measurement businesses.


JDSU has reported results for its third fiscal quarter ended April 2, 2011.
