Standard Product Designs and Custom Solutions

Frequencies from 2 to 100 GHz

MACOM’s Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA) and waveguide module product portfolio leverages our world class MMIC technology and system design expertise for high performance Industrial, Aerospace, Defense, and Communications applications.  Our SSPA modules feature up to 16 power-combined MMICs in a single module and we can power-combine multiple modules up to 100GHz featuring either coaxial or waveguide interfaces.

MACOM offers standard product designs as well as custom solutions integrating several active and passive functions or transmit & receive into a single module to achieve customers’ critical performance parameters such as output power, switching speed, noise figure, spectral purity, and out-of-band rejection.  All custom designed solutions consider thermal management as well as Size, Weight, and Power. 

MACOM’s SSPA & waveguide module products are available with Commercial, Medical, Military, and Space screening quality levels.
