On the Apply Research of High Frequency and High-Voltage 2deg-Gan Varactor Based Surge/Emp Suppression Modules

EMPs can be naturally occurring from solar activity, lightning, or man-made surges, such as the EMP from a nuclear weapon. Both can have devastating effects on whatever area they enveloped, from disabling satellites to frying mobile phones and other communication electronics with no possibility of repair. What only a few years ago required a huge military 747 to carry now is being fitted on small Stryker combat vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). That is, to destroying everything from a single mobile phone to an entire continent’s critical infrastructure, high-power electromagnetic weapons offer a degree of stealth. They are the perfect weapon for terrorists and saboteurs because they can strike silently, invisibly, and with total devastation. With a new emphasis on the rapid development and deployment of offensive and defensive high-power electromagnetic weapons, we need to put some more attention to develop our own protection techniques before it is employed. And our proposed GaN 2DEG Varactor based AlN micro-stripe EMP tunable protector is one of those potential candidates to prevent our high frequency C3 system from those threats.
