Hittite acquires assets of Keragis

Hittite Microwave Corp of Chelmsford, MA, USA (which designs and supplies analog, digital and mixed-signal RF, microwave and millimeter-wave ICs, modules and subsystems as well as instrumentation) has now acquired the assets of Keragis Corp of San Diego, CA, following a a definitive agreement announced in March.

Founded in 1993 and privately owned by Robert and Maria Rector, Keragis provides high-power, wideband amplifier modules (operating at 0.5-32GHz) that utilize both gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN). The high-performance military-grade and rugged commercial products have applications in RF and microwave systems, including radar subsystems, rack-mounted instruments, phased arrays and tow decoys.

The acquisition expands Hittite’s power amplifier portfolio, combining Hittite’s capabilities in designing and manufacturing ICs, modules and subsystems with Keragis’ patented wideband high-power amplifier module products.

Hittite says that, as a result of the acquisition, it will initially offer 10 military-grade and rugged commercial amplifier products featuring broadband high power, compact size, and high efficiency.
