Abstract :
The radio-front end is a key part in every cell phone, from low cost GSM handset to multi-mode multi-band LTE smartphones. This market is very fragmented in terms of architectures, however there are a few types of components that are key. Filters or duplexers, power amplifiers and antenna switches are at the heart of every cell phone radio. Those components represent a $3.6B market in 2011 already, growing at a 5.6% rate annually until 2016. Thus we forecast market for key RF components will reach $4.7B in 2016...
