Mitsubishi expands ku-band GaN-HEMT line-up
New chips support increased data-transmission capacity SATCOM earth stations
Mitsubishi Electric has added two new 12.75-13.25 GHz (Low-Ku band) 70W (48.3dBm) GaN HEMTss to the company's GaN HEMT lineup for SATCOM earth stations.
The two GaN HEMT products, one for multi-carrier communications and the other for single-carrier communications, support increased data-transmission capacity and smaller earth stations even in the Low-Ku band. The two products will be launched on January 15, 2023.
Ku-band satellite communication systems are increasingly being deployed for emergency communications during natural disasters as well as for satellite news gathering (SNG) by TV broadcasters in rural areas where fiber and/or cable networks are not available. For SATCOM earth stations, current mainstream systems use a 14 GHz band, but in the near future they are expected to use the Low-Ku (13 GHz) band as well as the Ka (28 GHz) band to address needs for increased data-transmission capacity.
Until now, Mitsubishi Electric has offered a lineup of seven GaN HEMTs for multi-carrier and single-carrier SATCOM earth stations. The two new 70W GaN HEMTs now being introduced will also support emergency communications and SNG in the Low-Ku band.
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.
