Mitsubishi Electric Develops New Technology to Realize Small, High-efficiency GaN Power Amplifier Module for 5G Base-Stations

Combines 6mm-by-10mm size and world-leading 43% power efficiency

TOKYO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — July 13, 2020Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO: 6503) announced today they have developed a new technology to realize a gallium nitride (GaN) power amplifier module for 5G base-stations that offers a combination of compact (6mm by 10mm) footprint and extra-high power-efficiency1, the latter exceeding an unprecedented rating of 43%2. The module, which uses a minimum number of chip components in the matching circuit to control high-quality signal output, is expected to help realize 5G base-stations that are widely deployable and highly power efficient. Technical details of the new module will be presented at the IEEE International Microwave Symposium this coming August.
