Application of Gallium Nitride in Radio Frequency Electronics
In recent years, due to the application of 5G, everyone's attention to RF GaN has increased. Qorvo also believes that GaN is very suitable for providing the high frequency and wide bandwidth required by the millimeter wave field. It can meet the performance and small size requirements, as shown in the figure below. Applications that use the millimeter wave frequency band require highly directional beamforming technology (beamforming focuses the radio signal into a strong directional beam, thereby increasing power and minimizing interference on user equipment). This means that the RF subsystem will require a large number of active components to drive a relatively compact aperture. GaN is very suitable for these applications, because it provides strong performance in a small package size is one of its most notable features. According to a report by Yole, an internationally renowned analysis organization, in early June, the GaN radio frequency industry started with silicon carbide-bas...
