Marki Microwave has pioneered dramatic advancements in MMIC filter technology in recent years, ranging from automated design optimization software to ultra-miniaturized chip scale packaging technology to 70 GHz.
Designers operating below the millimeter-wave regime, particularly in the sub-6 GHz range, have historically faced limited options for compact, high-performance filtering solutions.
The outstanding fabrication tolerances and scalability of IC processes have made MMICs the technology of choice for nearly all planar microwave components, including amplifiers, mixers, switches, oscillators—even fully integrated transceivers.
