High Electron Mobility Transistor

A High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) is a type of electronic switch or amplifier that uses a special layer of materials to allow electrons to move very quickly and efficiently. This design reduces resistance and energy loss, enabling the device to operate at high frequencies and power levels. HEMTs are commonly used in advanced communications, radar, and satellite systems because of their fast switching speeds and high-performance capabilities. Essentially, they enable better, faster signals by smoothly controlling the flow of electrons in electronic circuits.
