Kawasaki, Japan, June 24, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. today announced the development of a new structure for gallium-nitride high electron-mobility transistors (GaN)(HEMT) that can minimize power loss in power supplies, thus enabling reduced power consuFmption of electronic equipment such as IT hardware and home electronics.

12 June 2009 Japan: Fujitsu Develops World's First 100 W-Class X-band High-Output Amplifier Featuring High Efficiency Exceeding 50%
Kawasaki, Japan, June 12, 2009 – Fujitsu Laboratories Limited today announced the development of the world's first 101-watt (101-W) X-band high-output amplifier achieving the world's highest efficiency of 53% using gallium nitride (GaN) high electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs). Compared to X-band amplifiers with same-class output power using gallium arsenide (GaAs) HEMTs, this new amplifier can save much power dissipation and can be expected to achieve twice the range. Furthermore, by employing the new amplifier in the C band, Fujitsu Laboratories achieved an output of 343 W, an advance over the 320 W output reported by Fujitsu Laboratories in 2008 which was the world's highest at that time. Compared to conventional amplifiers employing GaAs HEMTs, it is anticipated that this new GaN HEMT-based amplifier can achieve a range that is 2.6 times as great in the C band. This new amplifier technology holds the promise to serve as an alternative to traveling-wave tube amplifiers in high-output applications, and may enable smaller, more energy-efficient, higher performance, and longer-lasting transmission systems in radars, satellite communications, and advanced mobile-phone base stations.

This technology dispenses with the oscillators and other components that have been required in conventional wireless transmission technologies, enabling compact and inexpensive millimeter-band transmission equipment. The new technology is suitable as an alternative to fiber-optic trunk lines in regions where those lines would be difficult to lay, as a way to bridge the digital divide, and can also be used for ultra-fast wireless LANs.
