MACOM participating in IMS 2021
MACOM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA (which makes semiconductors, components and subassemblies for analog RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and photonic applications) says that, at the IEEE’s International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2021) in Atlanta, Georgia (7–10 June), members of its engineering, applications and sales teams are available in booth #2021 to answer product-related questions.
Further, during the week of IMS, the firm is hosting eight virtual live demonstrations (scheduled with customers on 7–10 June) and four virtual technical talks, hosted by MACOM’s high-performance RF design, product management and applications engineering teams.
High-performance discretes:
DEMO #1: MACOM KV CAPS: Industry's Highest Voltage Semiconductor-Based Capacitor: This demonstration will showcase MACOM’s KV CAPS product line being used in a simulated medical application.
DEMO #2: Industry Highest Power Switch and Driver in a Plastic Surface Mount Package for Military Applications: This demonstration showcases the innovative design and performance of a surface-mount PIN-Diode SP4T switch and a PIN Diode Driver for military applications.
RF Power Offerings - MACOM PURE CARBIDE:
DEMO #3: Demonstrating 3kW Power from a Single Device GaN-on-SiC Amplifier: This demonstration showcases what is claimd to be the highest power in the industry from a single device at 1GHz. The demonstration will highlight amplifier performance of 3kW of pulsed power at 1030MHz, with efficiency over 67%.
DEMO #4: Demonstrating High Efficiency at 3.1GHz to 3.5GHz with a 100W Power Amplifier: This demonstration shows high efficiency performance of GaN-on-SiC for S-Band applications over the 3.1-3.5GHz frequency band.
DEMO #5: Demonstrating Ultra-Wideband 25W Matched Performance: This demonstration will highlight a 25W power amplifier over the 30MHz to 2.7GHz frequency range. Showcasing wideband performance, the amplifier features a 50Ω input match and is housed in a standard QFN package.
DEMO #6: Demonstrating Industry Leading DPD Performance at 400MHz for 5G mMIMO applications: This demonstration shows the capability of correcting a 110 W Doherty power amplifier designed for Massive MIMO applications for band 78, using digital pre-distortion over a wide instantaneous bandwidth of 400MHz.
Millimeter Wave Portfolio:
DEMO #7: Demonstrating 5G 28GHz Tx/Rx Front-End Module Capabilities: This demonstration will showcase MACOM’s capability in mmWave front-end modules (FEMs) using mixed technologies to deliver optimum performance for 5G applications.
DEMO #8: Demonstrating High Performance MMIC Power Amplifiers for Ka-Band: This demonstration will combine two 6W DIE power amplifiers on an evaluation board for a total output power of 12W for Ka-Band applications.
IMS live technical talks include:
TECH TALK #1: PCB Design for MMIC Amplifiers: In this presentation, MACOM will cover three fundamental PCB design considerations critical for achieving optimal performance – device grounding, thermal considerations and arrangement of bias feeds for amplifiers.
TECH TALK #2: Demonstration and Application of MACOM PURE CABRIDE Products: In this presentation, MACOM will highlight the high power, efficiency and broadband operation of MACOM’s GaN-on-SiC power amplifiers along with the companion power management integrated circuit (PMIC).
TECH TALK #3: Hybrid and MMIC-Based Limiters: In this presentation, MACOM will show the technical merits of its broad portfolio of limiter diodes, limiter modules and proprietary AlGaAs PIN diode limiter technology.
TECH TALK #4: AlGaAs W-Band, High Frequency packaging, High Power Switches: In this presentation, MACOM will highlight the technical merits of MACOM’s patented AlGaAs technology while highlighting the performance of AlGaAs-based product lines covering 2-40GHz limiter, mmW power, mmW SMT and W-Band components.
