GaN on SiC Providing Innovative Solutions for 5G, Satellite Communications, Aerospace and Defense Applications
This session explores performance advances in Gallium nitride (GaN) on Silicon Carbide (SiC) applied to advanced radar technology, linear power Satcom uplinks, 5G and wideband power amplifier applications. GaN on SiC with the highest power density plays a pivotal role in providing the best figure of merit for the power amplifiers (PA) in terms of linear efficient high output power with the benefit of SWaP-C or size, weight, power and cost. GaN on SiC offers the best combination of high frequencies, high power density, wide bandwidth, thermal properties, and high gain providing the smallest footprint, reduced weight, highest power support, and optimal efficiency. We will discuss GaN on SiC MMIC power attributes that are critical to improving and offering more compelling next-generation products for 5G, Aerospace & Defense and SatCom applications.
Key Takeaways
- Achieve wider bandwidth, higher frequencies, and smaller size for 5G
- Meet linearity specs for high order modulations used in satellite communications
- Achieve higher efficiencies for your radar systems
- Drive wider bandwidths for your MILCOM radio systems
