Easy to learn text book on GaN semiconductor devices

RF IC semiconductor specialist Qorvo announced the second edition of their "GaN For Dummies" books. Written in conjunction with publisher John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 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. The GaN For Dummies books help technical and nontechnical professionals learn more about the basics of gallium nitride (GaN) in radio frequency (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 transistors were first demonstrated in the 1990s and now are widely available for commercial and defense applications. GaN's popularity is based on the high power density and high efficiency it can achieve. 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. "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 Dr. Douglas Reep, Qorvo's Sr. Director of Research, Infrastruct...
