The three models are for L to C band (0.5~6 GHz) amplifiers,
which are incorporated into base stations for mobile phones, very
small aperture terminals and other transmission equipment. Sample
shipments will begin from August 2010.
For microwave transmitters, gallium arsenide (GaAs) power
amplifiers are most commonly used, but gallium nitride is now
garnering more attention, owing to its high breakdown voltage and
high saturated electron speed. In March 2010, Mitsubishi Electric
became the first company in the world to manufacture GaN HEMTs,
launching four models for C-band space applications. HEMTs that use
GaN have higher power density, which helps save energy and
contributes to making transmitters more compact and
lightweight, and expanded operating life.
