en.Wedoany.com Reported - MACOM Technology Solutions plans to introduce high-performance RF solutions for the aerospace and defense sectors, with related products to be demonstrated at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2026) held in Boston from June 9 to 11, 2026, at booth 17035.
The showcase covers S-band, C-band, X-band, and broadband applications. In the S-band (2-4 GHz), MACOM will introduce a 1.5 kW pulsed power amplifier offering up to 15 dB gain with 55% efficiency, suitable for radar and high-power microwave systems. Another high-power limiter built with multi-region HMIC technology features high peak power handling, low loss, and fast recovery, maintaining signal integrity while protecting sensitive receive paths.
In the C-band (4-8 GHz), MACOM will demonstrate a 50 W multifunction front-end module (FEM) integrating GaN-based transmit functionality, a low-noise receive path, and built-in limiter protection. The module's transmit path delivers 45% power-added efficiency (PAE) and high power gain, designed for radar bands within the C-band spectrum, enabling efficient transmit performance while supporting low-noise reception, ideal for compact high-performance system designs.
X-band (8-12 GHz) offerings include: a 16 W GaN front-end module (FEM) combining GaN transmit capability with low-noise GaAs receive functionality and integrated receiver protection, supporting efficient transmission and low-noise, high-linearity reception in compact radar architectures for balanced system performance, packaged in a 6 mm QFN; a 125 W multi-stage GaN MMIC power amplifier providing 40% PAE, 27 dB gain, and large-signal gain for X-band pulsed radar applications, offering high output power and efficiency in a compact size to meet stringent system requirements and simplify integration; and a compact 1.5 kW pulsed power amplifier solution designed for X-band radar applications, integrating multiple GaN-based amplification stages and advanced power management to deliver high output power, high gain, and efficient operation in a space-saving form factor.
For broadband applications (100 MHz – 18 GHz), MACOM will showcase a 10 W (2 – 20 GHz) GaN power amplifier providing flat gain response and high efficiency across the entire band, suitable for scenarios requiring broadband capability and reliable performance, such as radar, communications, electronic warfare, and test instrumentation.
