Abstract :
This paper presents the current offer and the on-going development of United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS) regarding RF chipsets for AESA Radar. UMS has developed a wide range of RF chipset covering AESA Radar applications from L to Q-band. These products have been developed on in-house UMS GaAs PHEMT and HBT technologies offering state of the art electrical performance and high reliability level. Regarding the next steps, UMS is developing a new generation of GaN products including robust LNAs & Switches and high power performance HPAs. These GaN products are developed on UMS in-house technologies
