Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd and its group company Sumitomo Electric Device Innovations USA, Inc. (SEDU) are participating in the 2018 International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2018) being held in Philadelphia, USA from 10-15 June. SEDU is a leading provider of advanced RF, wireless and optical communications solutions. Their latest offerings include S-band and X-band GaN HEMTs targeted at radar applications in the 3.1-3.5 GHz and 9.0-10 GHz frequency bands.
Today's radars provide large detection areas and advanced early detection, while reducing their size and weight. GaN is a proven and reliable semiconductor material used for radar applications. Having high power output and wide bandwidth, GaN is expected to improve the performance of radars. Sumitomo Electric will showcase new GaN-HEMT products, SGN3135-500H-R and SGC0910-300A-R, at the preeminent conference.
