MMICs are being widely used in flight applications at Astro Space. Proper selection of MMIC technology, commonality of MMICs in various boxes, development of generic boxes, and development of strategic relationships with vendors has resulted in cost savings due to weight and materiauabor reductions. MESFET and P H E W technology has primarily been used for attenuators, linearizers, limiters and amplifiers, covering 600 MHz (3.6 GHz to 4.2 GHz) at C-Band and 1.8 GHz (10.95 GHz to 12.75 GHz) at Ku-Band, up to medium power (+23 dBm) level.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
