EpiGaN GaN/Si RF Material Technology at the Core of EU 5G Project SERENA
Hasselt, Belgium, February 28, 2018 — EpiGaN, a leading European supplier of GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology solutions for power switching, RF (radio frequency) and sensor applications, has a key position in the new EU research project SERENA (“gan-on-Silicon Efficient mm-wave euRopean systEm iNtegration platform”). SERENA sets out to develop a beamforming system platform for mm-wave multi-antenna arrays and to enable the functional performance of a hybrid analog/digital signal processing architecture beyond mainstream CMOS integration. SERENA started in January 2018 will run for 36 months.
The objective of SERENA is a proof-of-concept prototype for optimizing the power efficiency and cost of mm-wave … Read More → "EpiGaN GaN/Si RF Material Technology at the Core of EU 5G Project SERENA"
