More RF power, less heat.

The power amplifier sets the ceiling for everything else in an RF system. Falcomm's patented Dual-Drive™ architecture drives the transistor's gate and source simultaneously, lowering its effective knee voltage so more of the DC supply comes out as RF power instead of heat.

Peak power-added efficiency, silicon-proven
50%

IEEE ISSCC 2021 reported a measured result of 50% peak PAE and 60% drain efficiency at 30 GHz.

70%
more RF output power

The same DC budget pushes more signal out of the antenna.

30%
less heat

Smaller heat sinks, simpler thermal design, and less mass to launch.

Measured results, published research, and patents.

The foundational Dual-Drive paper reports measured silicon results. Related IEEE research and issued patents show the broader technical work behind Falcomm.

These issued U.S. patents are listed in Falcomm's June 2026 company brochure.

One lab, DC to 150 GHz.

Falcomm's in-house RF and mmWave lab measures parts from DC to 150 GHz: continuous-wave, small-signal, modulation, and VSWR testing under one roof. Design and measurement sit in the same Midtown Atlanta office, so a part moves from model to silicon to bench data without leaving the building.

GaNdalph.ai

GaNdalph.ai is Falcomm's AI-native EDA software for power amplifier design, trained on process data developed alongside GlobalFoundries. It reduces a months-long design cycle to minutes for single- and two-stage RF PAs on GF RFGaN1.

01

Describe the spec

Give GaNdalph the same brief you'd hand a design team: frequency, output power, efficiency, and process node.

02

Search the design space

Falcomm's foundation models explore metal-stack EM physics, transistor nonlinearities, and manufacturability rules.

03

Generate the design

GaNdalph produces a layout-ready design against the rules of a qualified GlobalFoundries process.
