GaN-on-SiC has been a game-changer in the RADAR market, particularly in high-power radar systems. The superior thermal performance of GaN-on-SiC allows for higher power densities, leading to more compact and efficient radar systems.
Furthermore, the wide bandwidth of GaN-on-SiC devices enables multi-function radar capabilities, which are increasingly important in today’s dynamic and complex operational scenarios.
Jammer
The technical aspects of the jammer market are seeing significant advancements. Signal jammers, which block the transmission of signals by forming interference at the same frequency range, are often utilized by defense and military to limit or disrupt communications during war-like situations, bomb threats, and when serious defense operations are ongoing. The continuous dependency on security business across residential securities is resulting in making an appropriate choice for residential applications. Military platforms specifically utilize GPS jammers to navigate the positioning. Signals from GPS jammer is further exploited by the device to support navigation under war-related conditions.
Moreover, the regular investments in security expenditures and increasing usage of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in restricted areas are anticipated to boost the signal jammer market growth globally.
RF GaN-on-SiC technology can offer several solutions to this market. GaN-on-SiC provides power densities up to 10× higher than silicon-based devices. This could lead to power systems with higher power densities and lower cooling requirements. GaN transistors also dissipate less power and offer higher thermal conductivity compared to silicon devices. They also have a smaller form factor, which is beneficial for high-efficiency applications. The use of GaN components is growing rapidly in radar system designs. Furthermore, GaN-on-SiC is still the primary platform supplying demanding applications in defense radar, electronic warfare, and defense communication applications.
