MACOM Technology Solutions, a supplier of semiconductor products, will showcase its latest products for space and hi-reliability applications at the SATELLITE 2024 in Washington, D.C. MACOM’s portfolio includes a broad array of radio frequency (“RF”), microwave, millimeter wave, and optical products to support satellite communications links and ground station infrastructure. 

These products include linearizer modules for solid-state amplifiers (“SSPA”) and traveling wave tube amplifiers (“TWT”), analog and photonics components for free space optics (“FSO”), Gallium Nitride (“GaN”) monolithic microwave integrated circuits (“MMICs”) and various small signal components and integrated hybrid assemblies for satellite payload and ground station electronics.

Customers and attendees will have the opportunity to meet MACOM’s engineering and product management teams for explanations of its new products and solutions.

Satellite 2024 demonstrations and new product announcements will include:

• V-Band Linearized GaN MMIC Solutions: By combining proprietary analog linearization modules and GaN MMIC process technologies, MACOM can achieve higher linear output power and higher linear efficiency in SatCom transmitters. Linearization of SSPAs or TWTs enables systems to transmit higher levels of linear power which improves link budget performance.
• SatCom RF and Microwave Components: MACOM is expanding its single and multi-function RF components to support Ku- and Ka-band SatCom applications. The portfolio includes Gallium Arsenide (“GaAs”) and GaN power amplifiers, gain blocks, and low noise amplifiers (“LNA”), along with GaAs, silicon-on-insulator (“SOI”), and diode-based switches, mixers, attenuators, and phase shifters.
• Free Space Optics: MACOM will exhibit a wide range of components and capabilities for FSO systems, including lasers, laser drivers, various photodiodes, and transimpedance amplifiers (“TIA”). In addition, the MACOM team will present examples of various RF-over-fiber analog photonic subsystems used in high-performance SatCom applications.

MACOM invites attendees to visit Booth #1427 to meet with engineers to learn more about MACOM’s broad portfolio of products and capabilities for space applications.
