Ultraband's mmWave MMICs cover roughly 10 to 40 GHz on III-V processes, positioned mainly for satellite ground terminals plus 5G and next-generation wireless. The released Ka-band parts are supplied as bare die for module and antenna-in-package integration, and the 24 to 31 GHz coverage spans the 5G FR2 n257, n258 and n261 bands.
The Ka-band PA family delivers high gain and PAE, including the URP5B95 at 30 dBm (1 W) and 50% PAE. On the receive side, the URL6C48 LNA offers more than 26.5 dB gain, and the URF6C55 integrates the switch and LNA on one die to cut component count.
A new generation of packaged parts is in development: Ku-band PAs (0.5 W and 2 W), a Ku-band LNA with NF below 1.2 dB, a Ku-band switch, and QFN versions of the Ka-band PA, LNA and switch. Contact us to register interest.
