The control components are designed and manufactured utilizing MACOM’s proprietary AlGaAs PIN Diode technology, and aimed at enabling customers to realize control components with superior RF performance at extremely-high frequency (EHF). The inherent low resistance of AlGaAs technology can enable lower insertion loss, minimizing the need for expensive amplification functions and unwanted distortion at higher frequencies.

  • Variable Voltage Attenuator (VVA) (Typical Variable Attenuation
    Range: 25 dB)
  • Reflective SP2T Switch with Integrated Bias Circuits (Typical
    Insertion Loss: 0.8 dB)
  • Balanced 3-stage Power Amplifier (Typical Saturated Power: 24 dBm)

The control components are designed and manufactured utilizing MACOM’s
proprietary AlGaAs
PIN Diode technology
, and aimed at enabling customers to realize
control components with superior RF performance at extremely-high
frequency (EHF). The inherent low resistance of AlGaAs technology can
enable lower insertion loss, minimizing the need for expensive
amplification functions and unwanted distortion at higher frequencies.

W-band is quickly becoming a reality for numerous applications, such as
point-to-point communications and passive image radar. For passive image
radar at 94 GHz, there is no need to illuminate or excite the target as
the system can receive and process the 94 GHz frequency emissions
naturally emitting from the environment. MACOM’s AlGaAs-based control
components are helping to enable these applications by delivering high
frequency performance in the form of low insertion loss, high isolation
and high linearity.

MACOM will showcase its W-Band portfolio at the International Microwave
Symposium (IMS) 2019, Booth #532 in Boston, MA, U.S.A., June 4th
– 6th. MACOM’s booth will feature new product solutions
optimized for 5G, wireless basestations, radar, test and measurement
(T&M) and industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) applications. To make
an appointment, contact your local sales representative. For more
