Comtech Xicom wins $1.3m Order for GaN amps

Solid-state power amplifiers will be used in an airborne In Flight Connectivity (IFC) system
Comtech Xicom has received an order for more than $1.3 million for GaN-based solid-state power amplifiers (SSPAs) for use in an airborne In Flight Connectivity (IFC) system.
"This order is for the increasingly active IFC market, and further extends an ongoing production run," said Fred Kornberg, president and CEO of Comtech Telecommunications.
"Customers have embraced the high reliability and efficiency of our GaN technology and value the added benefit of small size and weight, especially for airborne systems," he added.
Comtech Xicom Technology manufactures a wide variety of tube-based and solid-state power amplifiers for military and commercial satellite uplink applications. The product range encompasses power levels from 8 W to 3 kW, with frequency coverage in sub-bands within the 2 GHz to 51 GHz spectrum.

The 13th CS International conference builds on the strengths of its predecessors, with around 40 leaders from industry and academia delivering presentations that fall within five key themes: Ultrafast Communication; Making Headway with the MicroLED; Taking the Power from Silicon, New Vectors for the VCSEL, and Ultra-wide Bandgap Devices.
Delegates attending these sessions will gain insight into device technology, find out about the current status and the roadmap for the compound semiconductor industry, and discover the latest advances in tools and processes that will drive up fab yields and throughputs.
