Qorvo launches Second Edition of GaN book
Qorvo, a provider of RF solutions for mobile, infrastructure and aerospace/defense applications, has announced a second edition of its "˜GaN For Dummies' books.
Written in conjunction with publisher John Wiley and Sons, the books consist of two volumes, GaN RF Technology For Dummies and RF Applications of GaN For Dummies. This edition includes updates to Qorvo's original GaN For Dummies books, which were published in 2014.
According to Quorv, the GaN For Dummies books help technical and nontechnical professionals learn more about the basics of GaN in RF technology and how they can use GaN in RF product designs. Both e-book volumes are free and available for download from the GaN For Dummies landing page on the Qorvo website.
"GaN technology is rapidly gaining traction for base transceiver stations (BTS), cable TV (CATV) and defense systems because it can meet the exacting performance requirements those applications demand," said Douglas Reep, Qorvo's senior director of research, Infrastructure and defence Products. "GaN For Dummies provides company leadership, system engineers and designers with a short course introducing the benefits of GaN, illustrating its exceptional reliability and unique performance capabilities."
GaN transistors were first demonstrated in the 1990s and now are widely available for commercial and defense applications. Revenue for GaN RF devices in both military and commercial applications will grow at a compound average annual growth rate (CAAGR) of more than 20 percent to nearly $560m in 2019, according to Strategy Analytics.
