Northrop Grumman showcasing manufacturing advances at IMS, CS ManTech and ROCS

Northrop Grumman Corp of Redondo Beach, CA, USA is participating in three conventions in the Phoenix, Arizona area during the week 18-21 May, focused on microwave and semiconductor technology: the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2015), the 2015 International Conference on Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS ManTech), and the 2015 Reliability of Compound Semiconductors (ROCS) workshop. At all three, Northrop Grumman is highlighting its expertise in microelectronics innovation and transitioning new technology to demanding, high-performance communications applications.

"Advancements in compound semiconductor technology have a significant impact on global security and communications markets, affecting a broad range of products from radar systems to satellite systems to mobile devices," says Frank Kropschot, general manager, Microelectronics Products and Services, Northrop Grumman. 

Throughout the week, Northrop Grumman is presenting several papers, including a summary of the highest output power ever achieved from a single-chip Ka-band gallium nitride (GaN) monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifier that peaked at 40W at 27GHz, demonstrating a significant advance over existing published results, says the firm.

At IMS, Northrop Grumman is sponsoring the Student Awards Luncheon, which honors the winners of 16 different design competitions. The firm is also a platinum corporate sponsor for CS ManTech, and has technical leaders in both the Executive Committee and Technical Program Committees.

Northrop Grumman is also presenting several new semiconductor products, including high-power amplifiers covering X-band, Ku-band and Ka-band.
