Key Market Drivers
Global 5G Infrastructure Deployment
The transition to 5G necessitates base stations capable of handling massive MIMO and millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. RF GaN devices provide the necessary efficiency and thermal management to support these high-bandwidth transmissions, reducing the overall footprint and power consumption of telecom towers.
Modernization of Defense and Radar Systems
Aerospace and defense remains a primary driver as global militaries upgrade to Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars and electronic warfare (EW) systems. GaN-on-SiC (Silicon Carbide) technology is particularly favored here for its superior reliability in harsh environments.
Expansion of Satellite Communications (SatCom)
The rise of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, such as Starlink and Kuiper, has created a surge in demand for compact, high-efficiency power amplifiers (PAs) that can operate reliably in space and ground-based terminals.
Transition to GaN-on-Silicon (GaN-on-Si)
Technological advancements are making GaN-on-Si more viable for commercial use. By leveraging existing large-scale silicon manufacturing processes, costs are decreasing, allowing GaN to enter more price-sensitive markets like consumer 5G handsets.
Growing Demand for RF Energy Applications
Beyond communication, RF GaN is being explored for industrial heating, plasma lighting, and medical cauterization, where its high power output and precision offer significant advantages over legacy vacuum tubes.
