Microwave & mm-wave
Plextek designs microwave and mm-wave components and sub-systems. Our experience includes custom MMICs, MCMs, SMT based microwave assemblies and waveguide modules.
Microwave and mm-wave Technology
Plextek is one of the few independent design houses able to offer RF design services that extend up to mm-wave frequencies. Our designs have ranged from fast switching, broadband microwave synthesisers for avionics radar applications to E-band MMIC amplifiers and IRMs for 71 to 76GHz and 81 to 86GHz point-to-point links.
We have design experience to 100GHz and the ability to combine an in-depth understanding of mm-wave technology with our strong background in high volume product design. This allows us to develop cost-competitive mm-wave modules and sub-systems suitable for commercial exploitation. As a truly independent design house we can select the right technology for the specific application.
Our services include individual sub-system design and supply through to complete turnkey custom IC development.
