Bristol University team makes GaN breakthrough

Written By Jae Park

Research led by University of Bristol could supercharge 6G delivery by making GaN-based RF power amplifiers quicker, more powerful and more reliable.

The breakthrough, published in the journal Nature Electronics, uses a latch-effect in multichannel GaN transistors to unlock greater RF device performance.

According to co-lead author Martin Kuball, professor of physics at the University of Bristol, the new GaN-based architecture would make it easier to communicate and transfer vast volumes of data, driving forward 6G developments in areas such as remote diagnostics and surgery, advanced driver assistance systems, virtual classrooms and more.
