2022X-band all-solid-state radar using high-power GaN HEMTs (Japan Radio)
GaN HEMTs capable of handling several hundred watts of high power in the X-band (9 GHz band) have been developed. Japan Radio has developed an X-band solid-state radar with SART (Search and Rescue Radar Transponders) using high-power GaN HEMTs. The radar has achieved superior object detection capability and new features that cannot be achieved with conventional magnetron radar, such as velocity measurement of moving object by Doppler signal processing.
