NEUP CINR-21-24446: Gallium Nitride-based 100-Mrad Electronics Technology for Advanced Nuclear Reactor Wireless Communications

We propose the development and demonstration of a GaN HEMT based wireless communication system for near-core operation in existing and future nuclear reactor facilities. The design will be optimized for neutron, gamma, and temperature hardness, and will reach TRL4 by project end. Deliverables include the GaN wireless communications system design and test results, and the results of elevated temperature and gamma, neutron and combined gamma/neutron irradiation tests.
