About Us

We are connecting the planet to empower a sustainable, shared future.

We began with a fundamental technological question.

Eridan was founded in 2013 in Santa Clara, CA to explore the idea of a polar transmitter built in Gallium Nitride.

By combining Earl McCune’s experience with polar transmitters, Dubravko Babic’s experience with Gallium Nitride, and Doug Kirkpatrick’s vision for the potential of combining the two, we reached a new level of tunability, energy efficiency, and clean signals with over 38 US patents issued and pending.

After acquiring an initial exploratory contract with DARPA, we realized our MIRACLE Module provides major solutions in 5G small cells and massive MIMO, IoT, satellite communications, and more. We are enabling fast, reliable, and affordable connectivity everywhere. Read more about Eridan’s history here.

Our team has grown since then (and continues to grow rapidly) to become a casual and energetic environment. We currently have two locations: Sunnyvale in California, USA and Zagreb, Croatia. To learn more about joining Eridan, please visit our Careers page.
