Industrial GaAs & GaN MMICs Technologies Evaluated for Space Applications

This paper reports the recent qualification for space application of power GaAs & GaN HEMT technologies. A summary of the qualification process of technologies capable to address MMIC applications up to 100GHz is presented. The first part will present the technology descriptions of GaAs based PPH15X-20 & PH10 and GaN based GI125-10 - which is to our knowledge the first GaN on SiC MMIC technology space evaluated. In a second part, key figures of the qualification plan will be summarized.
