Description
To meet the demands of the N23A-T028 “Broadband, High Power, Low Loss N-polar GaN Radio Frequency (RF) Switches” program, MaXentric team proposes the SWING (SWItches using a Nitrogen polar (N-polar) Gallium nitride (GaN) program. During Phase I, the team will characterize and model a N-polar GaN HEMT device, especially for switch applications up to 110GHz. In addition, the team will investigate the trade space for high power low losses switches in W-band and within the 2-18GHz bandwidth. Toward Phase II proposal, the team will make a plan for developing and demonstrating switch prototypes for the selected applications. The selected applications include transmitters and receivers.
