This project will combine the expertise of Filtronic in producing high power amplifier modules for E-band applications with the unique skills and facilities at Cardiff University. The generation of accurate non-linear models of a new generation of GaN transistors will allow Filtronic to accelerate the time to market of leading edge GaN power amplifier modules for satcom applications, targeting the growing market of LEO constellations.With two cycles of characterisation aimed at identifying the best transistors and then refining models for the specific application, a robust method for the model extraction and the design of optimized PAs will be developed.Characterisation, modelling and design are key steps in the manufacturing cycle of semiconductor technology, and this project will create a new collaboration between leading industrial and academic entities in the sector that will strengthen the UK position in the global landscape of compound semiconductor technology, since characterisation, modelling and design are key steps of the manufacturing cycle of semiconductor technology.

该项目将结合Filtronic的专业知识，以生产用于电子波段应用的高功率放大器模块，并在Cardiff University的独特技能和设施中。新一代GAN晶体管的准确非线性模型的生成将使Filtronic可以加速前沿GAN功率放大器模块的市场，以定位于LEO星座的不断增长的市场，并针对LEO星座的不断增长。旨在确定最佳晶体管和特定应用程序的特征模型的特性，并为特定的应用程序设计，并为特定的应用程序设计出强大的模型，并设计出强大的方法，并将开发。特征，建模和设计是半导体技术制造周期中的关键步骤，该项目将在该行业的领先工业和学术实体之间建立新的合作，这将增强英国在复合半导体技术的全球环境中的地位，因为表征和设计是半多个技术制造周期的关键步骤。
