RF Front End modules and components for cellphones 2017 - Report by Yole Deve...Yole Developpement
A dynamic market with high responsivity to technical innovation, the RF front end industry is set to grow at 14% CAGR to reach $22.7B in 2022.
A market that will more than double in six years!
The radio-frequency (RF) front end and components market for cellphones is highly dynamic. From being worth $10.1B last year, it is expected to reach $22.7B in 2022. Such high growth is definitely something that players in other semiconductor markets would envy. However, the growth is not evenly distributed.
Filters represent the biggest business in the RF front end industry, and the value of this business will more than triple from 2016 to 2022. Most of this growth will derive from additional filtering needs from new antennas as well as the need for more filtering functionality due to multiple carrier aggregation (CA).
Power amplifiers (PAs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs), the second biggest business, will be almost flat over the same period. High-end LTE PA market growth will be balanced by a shrinking 2G/3G market. The LNA market will grow steadily, especially thanks to the addition of new antennas.
Switches, the third biggest business, will double. This market will mainly be driven by antenna switches.
Lastly, antenna tuners, a small business today with an estimated $36M market value, will expand 7.5-fold to reach $272M in 2022. This growth is mainly due to tuning being added to both the main and the diversity antennas.

Taiyo Yuden SAW and BAW Band 7 Duplexer integrated into Skyworks’ System in P...Yole Developpement
Taiyo Yuden’s Well-Proven Metal Seal Packaging and SAW/BAW technology in LTE Band 7 high isolation duplexer used in Skyworks’ PAMiD
In the last five years, Skyworks has been the largest radio-frequency (RF) component supplier for Huawei. In Huawei’s last flagship, the Mate 9 Pro, and the P10 series, Skyworks supplies entire Long-Term Evolution (LTE) front-end solutions based on its SkyOne® Technology. The solutions comprise Low-, Mid- and High-Band front end modules (FEMs) featuring Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) and Bulk Acoustic Wave (BAW) filters. Skyworks is known to produce its own SAW filter and to outsource the BAW filter. In its High-Band PA Module integrated Duplexer (PAMiD), Skyworks integrates a duplexer supplied by Taiyo Yuden in metal seal packaging featuring a SAW and a Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonator (FBAR)-BAW filter based on Taiyo Yuden Technology.
The filters are located in a System In Package (SiP) with a power amplifier, switch and a RF integrated circuit. The device is a custom version of a Taiyo Yuden commercial device. The duplexer’s SAW filter uses sapphire and lithium tantalate substrates and its BAW filter has an original FBAR design using an air gap cavity on a silicon substrate.
In this report, the complete duplexer is analyzed, from the filters to the packaging developed by Fujitsu Media Limited, which was bought by Taiyo Yuden. The report includes a complete analysis of the package, the SAW filter and the BAW filter, featuring a cost analysis and price estimation for the device. A schematic of the BAW filter is also provided to understand the difference between shunt and series cells.
Finally, the report includes complete performance and technology comparisons with the previous generation of the band 7 duplexer from Taiyo Yuden and a technology comparison with BAW filters and packaging solutions from Qorvo and Broadcom.

This thesis focuses on mobile phones antenna design with brief description about the historical development, basic parameters and the types of antennas which are used in mobile phones. Mobile phones antenna design section consists of two proposed PIFA antennas. The first design concerns a single band antenna with resonant frequency at GPS frequency (1.575GHz). The first model is designed with main consideration that is to have the lower possible PIFA single band dimensions with reasonable return loss (S11) and the efficiencies. Second design concerns in a wideband PIFA antenna which cover the range from 1800MHz to 2600MHz. This range covers certain important bands: GSM (1800MHz & 1900MHz), UMTS (2100MHz), Bluetooth & Wi-Fi (2.4GHz) and LTE system (2.3GHz, 2.5GHz, and 2.6GHz). The wideband PIFA design is achieved by using slotted ground plane technique. The simulations for both models are performed in COMSOL Multiphysics.
The last two parts of the thesis present the problems of mobile phones antenna. Starting with Specific absorption rate (SAR) problem, efficiency of Mobile phones antenna, and hand-held environment.
This seminar will provide the basics of this fascinating technology. After attending this seminar you will understand OFDM-principles,
including SC-FDMA as the transmission scheme of choice for the LTE uplink. Multiple antenna technology (MIMO) is a fundamental
part of LTE and its impact on the design of device and network architecture will be explained. Further LTE-related physical layer
aspects such as channel structure and cell search will be presented with an overview of the LTE protocol structure.
The second part of the seminar provides an overview of the evolution in LTE towards 3GPP specification Release 9 and 10. This
includes features and methods for location based services like GNSS support or time delay measurements and the concept of
multimedia broadcast. Finally, we’ll introduce the main features of LTE-Advanced (3GPP Release-10) including carrier aggregation for
a larger bandwidth and backbone network aspects like self-organizing networks and relaying concepts.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

16. 5G will totally redefine how the radio frequency
(RF) front-end interacts in-between the network
and the modem. Indeed, new radio frequency
bands, sub-6 GHz, and mm-wave (as defined
in 3GPP release 15) pose big challenges for the
industry. However, with these challenges comes
opportunity to disrupt the market’s leadership.
On the sub-6 GHz side, the current front-end
leaders (Broadcom, Qorvo, Skyworks, and Murata)
have already begun adapting to these changes.
Broadcom prepared for the arrival of 5G ultra-high
band by integrating mid and high bands together.
And with its FBAR BAW filter technology,
Broadcom also owns the main critical building
block for the high and ultra-high frequency bands.
Skyworks is positioned on the 5G ultra-high band
market with its newly announced Sky5TM platform.
Moreover, the company has already earned some
design wins in the high-end segment with its
SkyOneR LiTE platform, in addition to the low-end
segment with its leading position among Chinese
OEMs (Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi).
Qorvo has a similar approach, with a broad
product portfolio covering the high-end and
low-end segments with its RF FusionTM and RF
FlexTM platforms, respectively. Another Qorvo
strength is its internal test and packaging capability,
which enable quick reaction time and continuous
improvement. Notably, Qorvo was the first player
to unveil a front-end module for ultra-high band
coverage.
Murata mostly covers the low band, but is very
well positioned for the growing, diversity module
market.
Qualcomm is the new entrant that brings with it
an end-to-end solution from modem to antenna.
Also, strategic investment in TDK Epcos’ filtering
technology has become profitable. The first revenue
was generated in the RF front-end segment during
2017. We can expect further revenue to come in the
near future. A first mobile phone (i.e. Sony’s XZ2)
already adopted Qualcomm’s complete solution.
Along with sub-6 GHz, the mm-wave front-end
module will completely disrupt the front-end
industry, representing a completely different
technology mindset that could create a new path
to high data-rate access. While Qualcomm is one
of the new entrants clearly positioned for mm-
wave technology, all of the top platform providers
(i.e. Intel, Samsung, HiSilicon, and Mediatek) are
exploring this new business opportunity.
The sub-6 GHz radio band will always be required
for radio coverage and link integrity, but complexity
could drop in the sub-6 GHz regime with mm-wave
technology’s arrival, especially in dense urban areas
when the mm-wave network is deployed. The mud
fight has already begun.

17. 5G’S IMPACT ON RF FRONT-END MODULE AND CONNECTIVITY FOR CELL PHONES 2018
5G OFFERS A BIGGER MARKET OPPORTUNITY TO THE RF FRONT-END INDUSTRY…
The mobile handset RF front-end market, along with
the WiFi connectivity sector, is expected to reach
$35.2B in 2023 at a CAGR of 14%. LTE evolution clearly
is the first growth wave (as we stated in our 2017
report), but most of the market opportunities in the
mid-term will come from 5G non-stand-alone (NSA)
radio, which became prevalent in late December 2017
(as defined in 3GPP during release 15). The need for
dual connectivity (i.e. the 5G new radio (NR) band
attachment to the LTE) implies evolution on RF front-
end architecture and additional components.
Not all components will exhibit equal market
growth. Filters, which represent the RF front-end
industry’s biggest market segment, will almost
triple from 2017 - 2023. This growth will come
mainly from the significant penetration rate of
high-quality BAW filters, which will be required for
the ultra-high frequency range defined by 5G NR.
Another example is co-existence filters for diversity
antenna-sharing with Wi-Fi, since rejection band
will be critical.
The LNA market is expected to grow at a 16%
CAGR with the implementation of the diversity
module, along with integration in power amplifier
modules for handsets. The switch market will enjoy
the same growth due to the addition of a new RF
path with 4x4 MIMO implementation, which will
lead to more diversity switch needs.
The antenna tuner market is also expected to record
significant growth with 4X4 MIMO technology’s
penetration. It is worth noting that 4x4 MIMO will
be mandatory for 5G.
Power amplifier (PA) will be the sole market to
remain almost flat over this period. High-end LTE
PA market growth, especially in high and ultra-
high band, will compensate for the 2G/3G market’s
shrinkage (currently, this market is handled by
multi-mode multi band (MMMB) PA).

…BUT COMPLEXITY FOR THE RF FRONT-END SHOULD BE EXPECTED TOO
LTEevolutionhasledtocomplexarchitectureintoday’s
mobile phones, mostly due to carrier aggregation.
Meanwhile, RF’s board area and available antenna
space have been reduced, leading to a densification
trend with more handset OEMs adopting power
amplifier modules and implementing new technics, i.e.
antenna-sharing between LTE and WiFi. In the low-
frequency band, the inclusion of the 600 MHz band
(for which T-Mobile recently acquired licenses) will
pose new challenges for low-band antenna design and
antenna tuners.
5G will add even more complexity, with new radio
bands released in ultra-high frequencies (N77, N78,
N79). This first field is being addressed by Skyworks
and Qorvo via a new product release, as explained in
this flyer’s first section. Band re-farming (early bands
are N41, N71, N28, N66, with more to come) with
dual connectivity will also contribute to increasing
constraint for the front-end. More densification in
front-end modules will be required to enable new
band integration, which is the approach followed by
Broadcom with its innovative mid/high band module.
Another new 5G requirement will be 4x4 MIMO
implementation, which will turn from a “nice to have”
luxury on LTE high-end mobile phones to a “must-have”
for every 5G handset. This will add a significant amount
of RF streams in the handset, and combined with carrier
aggregation requirements will lead to more complex
specifications for antenna tuners and multiplexers.
Last but not least is the implementation of the mm-
wave module into the handset - a topic that poses many
challenges, ranging from antenna array integration
(taking into account radiating efficiency and hand-
blockage effects) to power amplifier efficiency, since
antenna gain cannot be too high given the low number
of antenna array elements allowable in the handset
format. While still at the RD level, great progress
