Super-Power for a Connected World.

If we want to meet the demands of imagination, we need new materials and approaches.

Imagination is limitless. Each day, new devices and software are added to our digital ecosystem, demanding faster connections capable of sending more data, with less power, and with greater efficiency.

We rely on fast, stable RF highways to send and receive data between digital devices. Problem is, current chip solutions are running out of space for improvement. Most semiconductors today are built on silicon. They’re amazing for many applications, but have their limitations—especially when it comes to Radio Frequency (RF) applications.

Increasing demands from 5G, 6G and beyond are making silicon solutions unfeasible. Without reliable RF connections, the internet of things will be downgraded to merely “things.”

Without a solution for these limitations, carriers need more access points to maintain signal reach. The outcome? Network costs balloon. Installation timelines drag on. And – precious energy is wasted.

If we want to meet the demands of imagination, we need new materials and approaches.

Introducing GaN

It All Starts Here

Initially, our focus is on two critical RF front-end functions that stand to benefit greatly from our GaN+ advancements: Power Amplifiers and Switches, critical functions present in every communication system. Finwave enables both performance improvements and energy savings, as well as simplified design and lower cost of ownership

Meet the Driving Force Behind the New Semiconductor Era

With Finwave’s revolutionary GaN toolkit – GaN+ – devices for 5G, 6G and beyond can send more, faster, with less power—and meet the increasing demands of whatever devices designer and engineers imagine next.
Finwave brings the power of Moore’s Law and scaling to RF GaN devices. Finwave’s patented approach for linearizing both power amplifiers (PAs) and low noise amplifiers (LNAs) at the device level allows for higher linearity than that of conventional technologies. This is done by both reducing “memory” effects from electron trapping and a novel, device-level power combining approach.
The high intrinsic linearity of Finwave’s technology significantly improves PA efficiency at the backoff conditions required by high order modulation schemes. It also allows for much simpler, power-saving digital pre-distortion (DPD) algorithms – conserving even more energy.

The Future Needs Finwave

Beyond 5G, 5G Advanced, and 6G, Finwave’s technology is driving significant improvements in power handling and operating frequency. We’re collaborating with partners globally to apply these innovations across a broad range of industries such as Aerospace and Defense where size, weight and power (SWaP) and switching speed matters, our roadmap is laser-focused on delivering GaN- driven performance across applications worldwide. Finwave Evaluation Kits are available. If you have high power switch requirements, please reach out to discuss your specific needs.
