1. Antenna volume and price are rising

5G has given birth to mobile phone and base station antennas into the Massive MIMO era, and antenna volume and price have risen. 5G needs to be deployed in multiple frequency bands, so it needs to use the millimeter wave band with a wider spectrum and wider bandwidth for communication, and use large-scale antenna technology.

2. Driving the RF front-end acceleration

The communication standards in the 5G era have been further upgraded, bringing the continuous and rapid growth of the value of the mobile phone RF front-end stand-alone device, and its value is expected to grow to more than 22 US dollars in the 5G era.

3. The increase in base station upgrades drives the increase in PCB volume and price

With the advent of 5G commercial use, millimeter wave development promotes the construction of millions of small base stations. The mass construction and upgrading of communication base stations will create a massive demand for corporate communication boards, and PCBs will usher in the need for upgrades and replacements.

4, high-frequency and high-speed substrate demand is large

Compared with low-frequency signals, high-frequency signals have a wider frequency band. The frequency of communication transmission in the 5G era is higher. Therefore, the demand for high-frequency PCB boards and high-speed PCB boards is higher, so that the high-frequency substrates and high-speed substrates of copper clad laminates are required. The amount increases.
