Northrop Develops GaN Microchip That Acts Like ‘Brain’ to Enhance Wireless Signals

Northrop Grumman is advancing a new gallium nitride (GaN) microchip designed to act like a tiny “brain,” improving the strength, clarity, and speed of wireless signals.

Built for high-demand military and commercial applications, the device operates in the W-band spectrum, enabling the transmission and reception of highly detailed data at very high frequencies.

It supports satellite-based links for radar-related systems while also aligning with emerging 5G and 6G connectivity requirements.
