MACOM Technology Solutions unveiled a development kit targeted to help commercial OEMs quickly and easily adapt their product designs to incorporate GaN-based RF energy sources for a wide range of applications spanning cooking, lighting, industrial heating/drying, medical/pharmaceutical, automotive ignition systems and beyond. Leveraging solid-state RF energy as a highly efficient and precise energy source, and commercial OEMs are poised to achieve new levels of performance and affordability for future product generations.
MACOM’s new RF Energy Toolkit, Beta version helps system designers simplify and accelerate their product development cycles by making it easy for them to fine-tune RF energy output levels to maximise efficiency and performance. Combining the benefits of GaN-on-Si power transistors with intuitive, flexible software and signal control capabilities, the toolkit takes the guesswork out of the RF power source design and enables faster time to market.
The power transistors supplied with the toolkit deliver up to 10% greater power efficiency than comparably priced LDMOS-based transistors, according to MACOM. System designers can select from a range of power transistors to meet power level requirements spanning from 30 W to 1000 W, and the toolkit supports coherent channel operation allowing multiple RF energy channels to be easily combined, for example 3 x 300 W or 2 x 500 W, etc. Supported frequency bands range from 915 MHz to 2,45 GHz.
