  •  NEWS    Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Press Release Announces Worlds First GaN Power Amplifier Capable of Wideband Operation for 4G, 5G and Beyond 5G/6G.
  • Date:

    June 8, 2023

  • Description:

    Mitsubishi Electric Corporation announced today it has developed what is believed to be the world's first gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier that achieves a frequency range of 3,400MHz using a single power amplifier, which the company has demonstrated can be used for 4G, 5G and Beyond 5G/6G communication systems operating at different frequencies in a single base station. The amplifier is expected to enable the radio unit (transceiver) to be shared with different communication systems and lead to more power-efficient base stations.

    Mitsubishi Electric Researchers, Toshiaki Koike-Akino and Koon Hoo Teo helped developed the technology and device. Technical details will be presented at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium 2023 this month.
