High frequency power LDMOS technologies for base station applications status, potential, and benchmarking

LDMOS technologies based in G. Ma et al. (1996) and H. Brech et al. (2003) have been in dominate position in wireless base station applications for frequencies ranging from 450MHz to 2.7GHz for the last 10 years due to performance, cost, reliability, and power capability advantages. This paper reviews the leading edge LDMOS development at Infineon and discusses future potential and limitation for LDMOS technologies in general; benchmarking with alternative technologies is also presented
