What’s the State of GaN Power Amplification? (.PDF Download)

Oct. 1, 2015

Gallium-nitride (GaN) power semiconductor technology has helped significantly improve performance levels in RF/microwave power amplification. By reducing device parasitic elements and using shorter gate lengths, and using higher operating voltages, GaN transistors have reached higher output-power densities, wider bandwidths, and improved dc-to-RF efficiencies...
