World record silicon-based millimeter-wave power amplifiers

Wednesday, March 27, 2013 - 09:03 in Physics & Chemistry

Two teams of DARPA performers have achieved world record power output levels using silicon-based technologies for millimeter-wave power amplifiers. RF power amplifiers are used in communications and sensor systems to boost power levels for reliable transmission of signals over the distance required by the given application. Further integration efforts may unlock applications in low-cost satellite communications and millimeter-wave sensing.
