Title: Shipboard Low Noise Amplifier

Agency / Branch: DOD / NAVY

Contract: N66001-10-C-0130

Award Amount: $599,995.00

Abstract:
Auriga will produce a mast-mounted LNA that could withstand the high input power environment by utilizing a transistor typically found in power amplifiers; this transistor would also provide low noise characteristics. This novel approach was proposed and validated in Phase I. The enabling technology is Gallium Nitride (GaN), which is a relatively new technology. The high power handling capability of GaN is well-known, but the low noise characteristics have only recently been investigated. Studies have shown comparable noise performance between GaN and GaAs technologies.
