Abstract :
While the advantages of GaN are manifest, many of the features that make GaN transistors attractive can be shown to create significant issues that are typically not encountered with lower voltage technologies. In this talk, specific examples and scenarios are discussed highlighting some selected benefits and issues associated GaN MMIC technology and design.
