A GaN monolithic microwave‐integrated circuit (MMIC) driver and high power amplifier (HPA) chipset solution are presented for two commonly utilised satellite communications frequency bands. The MMICs represent first pass designs utilising Qorvo's recently released 0.15 µm GaN on SiC process featuring slot via devices.
