</div>WALTHAM, Mass., June 08, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading GaN (Gallium Nitride) technology innovator <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=L-2s8xMnKzTLoiZlw7CKiskHH10prOlIyhvRgR4pYwqi35m5TVIKDpmeJesQ6wrvDA_1EwHakFefxrhZcy0e-Z46ANG8KO4SvIyDKfLfvdQ=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="Finwave Semiconductor, Inc.">Finwave Semiconductor, Inc.</a> is showcasing its latest RF switch technology and product advancements this week at <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=qX-a94zKEaYeAOMm-Nt2j0sjLgtzdd-u9ImtgGE1xM_qGY8-6i4xrou6SCMgIxwnuO687kenpFrCVYAPDQB219P3BybEjTnsNbeJL4m2foI=" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="IMS2026">IMS2026</a> in Boston. The company will debut eight new high-power RF switch products and conduct demonstrations in booth #12076 on the show floor at the Thomas M. Menino Convention &amp; Exhibition Center from June 7-12. Built on Finwave’s differentiated GaN-on-Si platform, the company’s RF solutions are designed to combine the performance advantages of GaN with the scalability and cost efficiencies of high-volume silicon manufacturing. The portfolio supports a broad range of applications including communications infrastructure, Wi-Fi systems, satellite communications, radar, drones and counter-drone systems, test and measurement equipment, and medical technologies. New Product Highlights Finwave’s newest RF switch additions deliver expanded power handling, higher frequency operation and ultra-low insertion loss in compact 4x4 mm QFN packaging designed to meet stringent SWaP-C (Size, Weight, Power and Cost) requirements for modern aerospace and defense systems. Developed using Finwave’s latest GaN-on-Si process technology, the new devices integrate advanced driver functionality to simplify system integration while delivering best-in-class RF performance. By replacing legacy RF switch solutions, Finwave’s products enable smaller form factors, lighter system weight, improved power handling and lower overall system cost. The new product family includes: <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">FW2106, FW2107 and FW2108: High-performance SPDT switches featuring enhanced Continuous Wave (CW) and pulse power handling with expanded frequency coverage for broadband RF applications.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">FW2109: An ultra-broadband SPDT switch operating from 300 MHz to 18 GHz with 6W CW and 12W pulse power handling, optimized for electronic warfare and wideband communications systems.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">FW2124: Designed for X-band radar and satellite communications applications, delivering 8W CW and 16W pulse power handling for demanding high-frequency environments.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">FW2118 and FW2110: Ultra-low-loss switches engineered for applications where minimizing insertion loss is critical, supporting up to 12W and 40W CW power handling, respectively, and pulse power handling up to 80W.</li><li style="text-align:justify;">FW2198: A high-performance SP4T switch supporting 20W CW and 40W pulse power handling at frequencies up to 10 GHz. </li></ul> RF Switch Demos Showcase Speed, Isolation &amp; Bandwidth <ul type="disc"><li style="text-align:justify;">High-isolation switch solutions developed in collaboration with X-Microwave</li><li style="text-align:justify;">High-frequency switch operation up to 18 GHz</li><li style="text-align:justify;">High-speed switching performance in the 30 ns range </li></ul> Partnership with X-Microwave As part of its broader effort to expand access to its GaN-on-Silicon RF portfolio, Finwave has partnered with <a href="https://www.globenewswire.com/Tracker?data=cedrKaknHV9RIOzKUOiF_zk5ZzBD-MPyqVTzg61-nG6WiKLq48nPtdtcxP1KwW-sX_TwG1UTPp1_GPRa_hfRzw==" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" title="X-Microwave">X-Microwave</a> to accelerate RF prototyping and simplify RF module integration.
