Radar
GaN in plastic surface mount modules enable SWAP improvements
and speed time-to-market for next generation AESA radar systems
Features and Benefits
• Fully matched over wide bandwidths enables new multifunction system capability with broad frequency
operation and complex waveforms
• Small size, SMT enables system SWAP and faster time-to-market through standard surface mount assembly
• High gain and 50 V operation significantly reduces the size of energy storage capacitors and current draw
• Engineered for SMT assembly with low thermals and low pulse droop
Description
MACOM’s portfolio of surface mount, GaN in plastic power modules affords radar system designers a common
platform and pin-out architecture to leverage across a growing range of frequency bands. These fully matched,
2-stage GaN power modules deliver 90 W typical output power in a lightweight, 14 x 24 mm package, and
deliver breakthrough power performance.
Optimized for commercial air traffic control and military radar applications, the new SMT laminate packaged
modules deliver GaN power performance while enabling significant application and manufacturing efficiencies.
Supporting standard surface mount assembly, the module leverages commercial best practices for high-volume
manufacturing, ensuring additional benefits including improved assembly yield, lower component count, and
reduced touch labor. The 2-stage module is internally matched to 50 ohms, which requires no external matching
components, and allows reduction in overall part count, further streamlining assembly processes.
Supporting voltage operation from 28 to 50 V with high gain to reduce input power requirements, the module
maximizes power and cooling efficiency and provides robust performance over a wide range of input voltages.
Flexible voltage operation equips system operators to optimize the module for different power requirements
and dynamically manage their total system power budget.

Avionics and Air Traffic Control
MACOM’s high power GaN is leading the future of next generation power
in Avionics systems.
Features and Benefits
• High power allows customer to upgrade systems for increased range and performance
• High efficiency reduces the power consumption and cooling requirements of systems
• Increased ruggedness provides greater tolerance under demanding operating conditions and improves
the reliability of the system
• High voltage operation enhances the system performance and reduces the bias current load of
power supplies and distribution network
Description
MACOM’s high power GaN power transistors optimized for avionics applications offer customers greater
performance, flexibility and functionality through the benefits of GaN on SiC technology. A growing family
of leading power GaN transistors offer high pulsed power operation of up to 600 W for Avionics applications
in the 960-1215 MHz and 1030-1090 MHz bands. The GaN technology offers the customer higher power and
efficiency operation in a similar size and footprint compared to LDMOS or Si Bipolar technologies. Furthermore,
the inherent higher thermal performance and higher breakdown voltage of GaN benefit the customer with
great flexibility in wider-band operation, increased power handling leading to longer pulse lengths and
duty cycles and increased ruggedness under load mismatch conditions.

Features and Benefits
• Broadband, unmatched transistors can be used for a variety of applications including communications,
instrumentation and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM)
• Very rugged–allows GaN transistors to withstand high VSWR mismatches during power on/start up
and during operation without damaging the transistor
• High voltage–reduces bias current load on power supply allowing for reduced cost power supplies
• Excellent thermal performance–allows reduced heat sink costs for easier PCB designs
• High RF gain and efficiency
• MTTF of 600 years (channel temperature < 200°C)
• EAR99 export classification
Description
As Gallium Nitride moves from its initial uses in Military and Radar applications to broader classes of products,
MACOM is uniquely positioned to enable those markets. With more than a decade of GaN experience and the
industry’s only dual source wafer fabrication agreement in place for GaN, MACOM satisfies many of the commercial
requirements that have limited GaN penetration in broader markets. Packaging choices from ceramic flanged
and flangeless to discrete plastic, including plastic laminate modules that enable traditional SMT PCB
production techniques. The portfolio of 10, 14, 25, 30, 50, 100 W CW devices allows customers a wide
set of options to build line ups for their ISM applications.
