RF (Radio-Frequency) Power Semiconductor is an Integral Part of the Electronics

Posted by Ajinkya on February 10th, 2021

A power semiconductor device is typically a small semiconductor device used as an electronic switch or diode in electricity-based power electronics (i.e. in a bipolar switch Mode Power Supply) or as a quenched diode in an AC-to-DC power supply. These devices are also known as power IC's when employed in automation, computer control systems. These devices are generally fabricated on a flexible substrate and offer many input and output connections as well as an adjustable gate charge. Due to their flexibility and cost-effectiveness, these devices have become one of the most common and widely used input/output devices in digital electronics.

A Radio-frequency (RF) power semiconductor is used as a switch or rectifier in power electronics. The semiconductor is designed to operate in a radio-frequency spectrum that is approximately 3 kHz up to 300 GHz. These devices are used for cellular and mobile wireless infrastructure. RF power semiconductor devices are employed in various applications such as in military radar, marine, and air traffic control systems. Many manufacturers are focusing on providing RF power semiconductor devices with various advancements. A myriad of services and products use RF power semiconductor devices in their transmitter circuitry: radio and television broadcasting; police and fire radios; wireless infrastructure for cell phones and other wireless devices; medical equipment; space/ satellite communications; materials curing that includes plywood and carpet fibers; and military communications and electronics of all kinds.

RF Power Semiconductor products are one of the fastest-growing sectors in today's high technology industry.
