Power Combiners and Dividers
Millitech has developed a number of solutions for highly efficient millimeter-wave power dividing and combining. These units are ideal for power combining in cascaded arrays for commercial, military, and satellite applications. Millitech utilizes both electroforming and CNC machining techniques to achieve low insertion loss, high point-to-point isolation, and excellent phase balance. Millitech also offers a number of these units as standard products and can accommodate nearly any power combining requirements.

Solid State Power Amplifiers
Our solid-state amplifiers can be combined to generate even higher power amplifiers. For example, the custom-designed assembly shown below utilizes a 94 GHz 1 Watt source created by combining eight saturated PAs. Millitech optimally tunes the SSPAs and integrates them with a heat-sink and drivers per our customer's requirements. This configuration includes a YIG oscillator and a x6 multiplier.

Line-of-sight Communications
Millitech has over 20 years of experience developing military and commercial millimeter-wave radios for secure fixed wireless line-of-sight communications applications. Millimeter-wave radio has several advantages over its conventional microwave counterpart, such as spectrum availability. These systems have pencil-thin antenna beams due to their short wavelength resulting in high frequency reuse and security. Penetration of fog enables high up-time (5-9's) at distances of up to 1.5 km.
Typical applications include:
- V-band/E-band/W-band radios (FCC)
- Fiber extension (last mile)
- Militarized radio
- Covert wireless communications
- High bandwidth
More than seventeen gigahertz of spectrum has been allocated in the US for millimeter-wave communications in both unlicensed (FCC part 15) and coordinated use. With such abundance of available spectrum, wireless full-duplex transport at GigE rates and higher are now practical using millimeter-wave point-to-point radios.
Millitech supports these markets in several ways:
- Military/commercial product development
- Complete turn-key demonstration systems
- Custom MMW module supplier (development and production)
