Patent number: 11594466Abstract: A high efficiency satellite transmitter comprises an RF amplifier chip in thermal contact with a radiant cooling element via a heat conducting element. The RF amplifier chip comprises an active layer disposed on a high thermal conductivity substrate having a thermal conductivity greater than about 1000 W/mK, maximizing heat conduction out of the RF amplifier chip and ultimately into outer space when the chip is operating within a satellite under normal transmission conditions. In one embodiment, the active layer comprises materials selected from the group consisting of GaN, InGaN, AlGaN, and InGaAlN alloys. In one embodiment, the high thermal conductivity substrate comprises synthetic diamond.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2020Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Akash Systems, Inc.Inventors: Felix Ejeckam, Tyrone D. Mitchell, Jr., Paul Saunier

Patent number: 11495515Abstract: Aspects of wireless communication are described, including a radiofrequency (RF) amplifier chip, configured for transmitting or receiving data, comprising a first substrate comprising a first material and a second substrate comprising a second material that is different from the first material. The first substrate and the second substrate may be lattice-matched such that an interface region between the first substrate and the second substrate exhibits an sp3 carbon peak at about 1332 cm·1 having a full width half maximum of no more than 5.0 cm·1 as measured by Raman spectroscopy. In some aspects, the first substrate and said second substrate permit said chip to transmit or receive data at a transfer rate of at least 500 megabits per second and a frequency of at least 8 GHz. In some aspects, the RF amplifier chip is part of a satellite transmitter.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2020Date of Patent: November 8, 2022Assignee: AKASH SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Tyrone D. Mitchell, Jr., Felix Ejeckam, Daniel Francis, Paul Saunier, Kris Kong
