Thanks to previous activities, GREAT2, GaN devices have been successfully developed enabling use of the devices into applications up to Ka-Band. However the efficiency is less than is required to meet future planned missions, in particular for the High Power Amplifier (HPA), which is a critical element for the deployment of active array/phase array antennas.  To achieve higher frequency transistor operation in the mm-wave range, design modifications of the device are required : it is necessary to shrink both the active device lateral (gate length) and vertical (channel barrier) dimensions.

Swarms of CubeSats for kW-scale Space-Based Solar Power (16U4SBSP)
The “16U4SBSP” mission concept is a fundamental technology demonstration step for the realization of kW-/MW-/GW-scale Space-Based Solar Power (SBSP) based on flight formation, a distributed or aggregated swarm of small satellites contrary to conventional concepts of monolithic giant SBSP satellites. In this mission, a swarm of 16U CubeSats collaboratively supply wireless power via Radio-Frequency waves to end-users in different locations on the ground, for instance to provide backup power for emergency situations, and also for space-to-space commercial use-cases.
