Anticipated Benefits
WBG devices offer higher power output, higher efficiency, and tolerance to higher temperature. Amplifiers made of WBG devices will ultimately replace amplifiers made GaAs devices used in many commercial communication systems. Those systems include: wireless infrastructure, to satellite ground terminals, point-to-point radios, etc. The projected number of terminals for those systems adds up to millions, representing a large market comparable to cellular and personal communication systems bands.
