Objectives

The main objective of EleGaNTE is to develop GaN components enabling technologies for the mm-wave frequency range for a RADAR FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) sensor capable to detect small obstacles for helicopters operating in critical conditions. The demonstrators of EleGaNTE will be a HPA (High Power Amplifier) working in the mm-waves and a high power normally-off HEMT (High Electron Mobility Transistor). To target such objectives, the activities will range from the definition of the operative specifications, to the material growth and development of technological processes, up to fabrication of demonstrators in industrial environments.

To achieve this ambitious goal, the project will develop a national autonomous solution for the fabrication of GaN devices, based on the synergy between the main industrial players and the National Research Council.
