Wireless Infrastructure
Meeting the continually evolving demands for 4G LTE & 5G wireless infrastructure applications with RFHIC's gallium nitride (GaN) on silicon carbide (SiC) technology solutions
Radar
RFHIC provides a broad portfolio of high-power gallium-nitride (GaN) solid-state power amplifiers & transmitter systems in L-band, S-band, C-band, and X-band – delivering wider bandwidth, high power density,efficiency and compact sizes required for today's commercial and defense radar applications.
Applications for Radar
Weather Radar
Next generation radar (NEXRAD) systems use pulse-Doppler technology, which can locate precipitation and detect the motion of rain droplets. Traditionally, weather radars have been built using tube transmitters - magnetrons and klystron - but the technology has since evolved with the widespread adoption GaN solid-state components for the transmitter. Enabling optimized performance, data availability and maintenance. RFHIC's gallium nitride (GaN) solid state transmitters provide next generation radar (NEXRAD) systems with faster and precise detectability and greater efficiency.
Applications for Radar
Surveillance Radar
Surveillance Radar are designed as an unattended system intended to operate twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year. RFHIC's gallium-nitride (GaN) on silicon carbide (SiC) offers lower losses, higher switching frequency, great thermal performance, and better overall performance to maximize reliability and detection.
Applications for Radar
Marine Radar
With the rising demand for weapons guidance applications and surveillance - next generation marine radars need to be capable of providing precise clarity and increased power performance. RFHIC's GaN solid state transmitter systems offers several key benefits over tradtional magnetron or klystron systems, including longer operational life, lower installation and lifecycle costs and a stable frequency source that is coherent on transmit.
Applications for Radar
Air Traffic Control (ATC) Radar
With the rise in commercial aviation and air travel, next-generation air traffic control (ATC) radar systems are being replaced with GaN solid-state technology. Using GaN reduces power consumption and operating costs due to its high reliability. Test results have shown that the amplifier can produce cleaner pulse signals due to the system's linearity, resulting in precise and long detection capabilities.
Applications for Radar
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)
Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) is a radar-based technology that help military personnel determine their location, communicate with other aircrafts, and receive their unique signature. With RFHIC's GaN MMIC and transistor solutions, designers have the flexibility to optimize system performance.
