Abstract :
A brief review of the development programs involving MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits) in Europe supported by the EEC (European Economic Community) and military administrations is given. Examples from four leading European manufacturers of MMICs, namely, Plessey, Telefunken, Philips and Thomson-CSF, are presented. These examples show how systems people are now exploiting MMICs in novel types of applications.<>
