Trends in Multi-functional MMIC Design

The age of single microwave components as the fundamental building blocks of microwave subsystems is rapidly coming to an end. Desires for smaller-sized systems, higher reliability, and most urgently, lower-cost systems, are driving an accelerating shi...

In the MMIC arena, microwave functions previously achieved with a chain of multiple single-function MMICs are being replaced with more highly integrated, application-specific, multi-function MMICs. As a result, functions recently requiring 10 to 15 individual MMICs are now being designed with as few as four MMICs. Similarly in the...
