New Wideband RF GaN Transistor for Aerospace and Defense Communications

New Wideband RF GaN Transistor for Aerospace and Defense Communications

June 9, 2023

Aerospace & Defense, Communications

In the defense industry, communication is not just necessary it’s a lifeline. NXP’s RF transistors are proven rugged and reliable in the harshest of environments. The MMRF5018HS offers more than reliability – it is a true one-stop solution for multiband communication with best-in-class wideband capabilities, high gain and drain efficiency.

The MMRF5018HS multi-octave wideband performance is optimized for applications operating at 1-2700 MHz. When operating at such wide-bandwidths at high power, thermals become a major factor in how to get the heat out. NXP is continuing to improve our wideband GaN portfolio, with this low thermal resistance of 1.21° C/W thermal resistance (FEA computed) channel to case thermal resistance at 90°C and 109W dissipated.
