  • Abstract
    Applications for GaAs monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in the commercial marketplace first emerged in 1985. Today, GaAs MMICs are part of many test and measurement instrumentation systems and essential elements in fiber-optic communication systems. These applications, as well as potential applications for the near future, are reviewed. A simple market model is developed for categorizing commercial applications and some projections on the size of the market are presented.<>
