IMS2024 demonstrations and new product announcements will include:
- GaN-on-SiC MMIC Ka-Band Power Amplifier: This demonstration showcases a 6 W driver and a 10 W PA operating in the 33 to 37 GHz band. These parts are fabricated using MACOM’s 140 nm GaN-on-SiC technology.
- 300 W X-Band GaN-on-SiC Matched Power Amplifier: A new addition to the MACOM RF product portfolio, this amplifier is fully matched to 50 ohms at both input and output ports. Ideal for pulsed radar applications such as marine, defense and weather radar, it provides an ideal combination of output power, signal gain and drain efficiency in a small form factor at 9 GHz.
-
C-Band 100 W GaN-on-SiC Power Amplifier with
57% Power Added Efficiency (PAE): This GaN Power Amplifier combines high gain and high efficiency for pulsed power applications within a small footprint (7 x 7 mm). This demonstration also features MACOM’s XP1044 driver amplifier and MACP-011113 surface mount directional coupler.
- 250 W 2.4 to 2.5 GHz High Power GaN Pallet: This two-stage GaN Amplifier Pallet, part of MACOM’s recently expanded range of RF solutions, is tailored for Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) applications. This turnkey solution features the industry’s most efficient microwave CW transistor in a plastic package, enhancing cost effectiveness.
- GaN-on-Si MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) with Fast Recovery Time: By utilizing MACOM’s proprietary 100 nm GaN-on-Si technology, MACOM delivers robust low noise LNAs with industry-leading recovery time. This combination of ruggedness, low noise figure and fast recovery time make these LNAs ideal for radar and electronic warfare (EW) applications.
- GaN Switch: This demonstration displays MACOM GaN-on-Si switch solutions highlighting a C-Band GaN switch with a P0.1dB of greater than 50 W. In addition, the company’s latest high frequency GaN-on-Si switch offerings will be on display.
- Linearized Q-Band GaN PA MMIC for SATCOM: This demonstration highlights MACOM linearizer technology. Combining a Q-Band GaN-on-Si amplifier, designed for satellite communications, with a wideband analog linearizer, MACOM will show how it is possible to simultaneously achieve optimal linearity, PAE and output power for SATCOM.
- Quad L-Band to Ka-Band Block Upconverter: This integrated solution offers excellent phase noise performance, an analog or digital interface and low sensitivity to microphonics. It simplifies system linearity and provides benefits in terms of cost, size, mass and complexity.
-
X-Band T/R Module (TRM) with
42% PAE: Designed for X-Band aerospace/defense applications, this demonstration highlights MACOM’s WSM5100S multi-chip module which integrates a high power GaN Switch, GaAs Limiter-LNA and GaN PA into a 7x7 mm QFN. This TRM delivers 5 W Output Power with industry-leading efficiency.
