Sener Coordinates EU Project for Next-Gen European Space Chips Using GaN Technology
Sener will lead a EU project to develop a new generation of European electronic chips designed for high-frequency operation in next-gen space systems. Funded by the European Commission under the Horizon Europe program, the project aims to enhance the efficiency, size, and data transmission capabilities of satellite communication systems in low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO). It includes the design of advanced power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and high-frequency switches to strengthen the EU's technological autonomy in the aerospace sector.

Sener is coordinating a project under the EU's Horizon Europe program to develop advanced electronic chips for space systems, utilizing gallium nitride (GaN) technology on silicon carbide (SiC). This project aims to improve satellite communications' efficiency and data transmission capabilities in both low Earth orbit (LEO) and geostationary orbit (GEO).
It will design power amplifiers, low-noise amplifiers, and high-frequency switches, reinforcing the EU's technological autonomy and supply chain in the aerospace sector. The first wafer with functional prototypes has already been manufactured as part of the project.
