RFIC & MMIC
Plextek has a dedicated team that develops RF Integrated Circuits (RFICs) and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) using GaAs, Si, SiGe and GaN technologies at frequencies up to 100GHz.
RFIC Design and Technology Development
Plextek's RFIC/MMIC design team has developed over 60 full custom ICs and has experience of taking designs from conception to mass production. We are recognised as a global leader in the design of high frequency integrated devices operating at microwave and mm-wave frequencies.
We have experience of the full IC production cycle and are able to manage the complete supply process including packaging, characterisation and test. Plextek's clients in this area include major silicon vendors such as Sony Semiconductor and National Semiconductor as well as advanced system developers such as QinetiQ and Aeroflex.
We operate our own dedicated RF On Wafer (RFOW) test facility and act as a design house for several leading foundries including GCS, TriQuint Semiconductor and WIN Semiconductor.
