Gallium nitride (GaN) based semiconductors have been commercially available for several years at this point. GaN technology has made extensive inroads into many power electronics applications, and increasingly in RF/microwave/millimeter-wave applications. GaN, as a semiconductor, has high electron mobility, high band-gap voltage, is very rugged, and can be realized in a variety of technologies using ..

There are many predictions that the RF GaN industry has been, and will continue, to experience substantial growth over the next several years. Predictions estimate that the currently nearly US$ 400 million RF GaN market (2017 close) will likely grow to, or beyond, US$ 1 billion by 2023 [1, 2]. With the defense industry consuming ..
