MACOM showcasing DC-100GHz MMICs at EuMW

In booth #207 at European Microwave Week (EuMW 2016) at ExCel London, UK (4–6 October), MACOM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes semiconductors, components and subassemblies for analog RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and photonic applications) will debut the industry's broadest and most advanced MMIC product and technology portfolio.

Along with its new portfolio of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs), MACOM will feature its Gen 4 gallium nitride-on-silicon (GaN-on-Si) portfolio for RF energy applications, and other high-performance products at the show.

MACOM will exhibit the following new product solutions optimized for test & measurement (T&M), SatCom, aerospace & defense (A&D), wired broadband and industrial, scientific & medical (ISM) applications, including giving live demonstrations:

• wideband GaAs power amplifier: new 2W GaAs power amplifier covering DC-22GHz for T&M/A&D applications;
• wideband voltage-controlled oscillator: demonstrating the performance and functionality of MACOM's new platform of wideband VCOs, including octave band frequencies, lower phase noise, stable power over temperature and improved sensitivity for T&M/ISM applications; and
• 300W Gen 4 GaN power transistor: demonstrating MACOM's Gen 4 GaN-on-Si for RF energy in both solid-state cooking and plasma lighting RF applications.

Also, MACOM's experts will present papers and posters and participate in a workshop on the latest in RF & microwave technology:
