The project


FLEXGAN (Ka-band GaN-based SSPA for FLEXible payloads and multicarrier operation for 5G satellite concept) is a European research project co-funded from EU H2020 programme funds. The project aims at designing, developing and testing, in a representative space environment (TRL5), a low cost high power and efficient Ka-band Gallium Nitride (GaN) Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) with RF output power varying capability (flexible SSPA), with high innovative & low loss recombination schemes and with the ability to operate in multicarrier operation mode for highly flexible payloads for 5G satellite applications. The operational frequency band is 17.3-20.2 GHz and the objective output power is 125 W CW.

 

 Flexgan will


  • Allow to reinforce and corroborate the use of GaN technology for space applications.
  • Bring known terrestrial technologies to space.
  • Create new business opportunities around space market.
  • Stimulate the integration of space into European society and bring benefits to European citizens:
  • Provide 5G satellite connectivity and resilience:
    • Provide 5G satellite connectivity and resilience:
      • Wide connectivity: anywhere/anytime
      • Cost per bit reduction
      • Security union
      • Reduction of OPEX and CAPEX in the 5G radio networks
    • Jobs creation: qualified employment
    • Climate resilient: FLEXGAN as a “Green technology”
    • Contribution to European research and technology ecosystem
