UMS New GH10-10, 0.1-µm GaN Technology

 

Promising performance, good device robustness and reduced memory effect were achieved with a combination of process and device optimization. Large signal measurements were performed at 18 GHz, 30GHz, 45 GHz and 60 GHz.

The results at 45 GHz have shown more than 46% of PAE, 11dB linear gain and 2.5 W.mm-1 output power. At 60 GHz, a maximum PAE of 31-33% is obtained.

The nonlinear electrical model accuracy is proven with the HPA designed at Q-Band and showing promising results.

UMS GH10-10 Key Specifications at a Glance:


MMIC Power amplifiers and LNAs in 100-nm GaN on SiC European technology for Q/V band VHTS and constellations.

 

Semiconductors are critical to the national security of the European member states and to the functioning of the European economy.

III-V semiconductors like gallium nitride (GaN) are particularly of interest for space and telecom applications due to the very high efficiency of these materials.

The European project SGAN-Next is focused on developing a European GaN on SiC MMIC process for high frequency operating devices (Q band and beyond) targeting flexible payloads for LEO/GEO applications. In this paper, first designs of a medium (2W and 5W) and high-power amplifier (10W) for Q-band, as well as low noise amplifiers at V-band are presented.
