TriQuint’s GaAs chips simplify wireless backhaul microwave radios


The gallium arsenide radio frequency devices serve the 3G/4G cellular backhaul and related markets


TriQuint Semiconductor has introduced 12 new products and highlighted two complete RF chipset families for 15 and 23 GHz point-to-point (PtP) radios.


Microwave radios linking base stations and central switching hubs provide an excellent backhaul solution. The radios are comparatively easy to install and inexpensive to maintain. Especially at higher microwave and millimetre wave frequencies, they have broad channel bandwidths to enable very-high-speed data throughput.


TriQuint’s new 15 and 23 GHz chipsets provide the OEM a single-source, surface-mount RF solution. These products are offered alongside TriQuint’s larger family of PtP solutions which cover 10-16 GHz and 17-27 GHz.


Technical Details


The firm’s new GaAs based products include high- performance packaged amplifiers, up-converters / down-converters and voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs) as well as additional devices to support PtP RF requirements from 10-27 GHz.


Mobile network traffic generated by smartphones, tablets and other devices is increasing exponentially, making high-speed solutions that “backhaul” data across wireless networks essential to seamless connectivity.


Cisco’s Virtual Networking Index notes that in 2012 global mobile data traffic grew by more than 70 percent compared to 2011 and predicts that it will grow at an annual rate of 66 percent through 2017.


James L. Klein, Vice President and General Manager for Infrastructure and Defence Products says, “Point-to- point radio plays a vital role in sustained mobile network growth. TriQuint’s leadership in high frequency solutions now includes complete RF chipsets that simplify design and improve performance.”

Europe to boost micro- and nanoelectronic industries


A new initiative is supporting research, development and innovation and improvement in the entire semiconductor ecosystem


The European Semiconductor Industry Association (ESIA) welcomes the European Commission’s Communication “A European strategy for micro- and nanoelectronic components and systems”.


The actions outlined in the Communication will strengthen the competitiveness and growth potential of the micro- and nanoelectronics industry in Europe, and build upon the European initiative on Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) and HORIZON 2020.


ESIA believes that this Communication takes a decisive
