MACOM announces new RF solutions for radar systems at IMS 2025

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. introduced a suite of RF solutions for advanced radar systems, to be demonstrated at the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) from June 17 to 19, 2025, in San Francisco, CA, at booth 943.
For S-Band (2–4 GHz), MACOM offers 65 V, 50-ohm GaN-on-SiC amplifiers operating from 2.7–3.8 GHz, delivering up to 800 W output power. The portfolio includes models MAPC-A4029, MAPC-A4030, MAPC-A4031, and MAPC-A4032.
In C-Band (4–8 GHz), the MAPC-A4003-AB is a 700 W GaN-on-SiC power amplifier for 5.2–5.9 GHz radar applications. The WSA4501S GaN-on-SiC MMIC amplifier provides 50 W with 57% power added efficiency, supporting pulse conditions up to 500 µsec and 20% duty cycle in the same frequency range.
For X-Band (8–12 GHz), the MAPC-P1060 is a 1 kW pulsed amplifier pallet with 52 dB gain and 30% efficiency, integrating power management ICs for bias sequencing and temperature compensation. The WSM5000S Front End Module includes a GaN-on-SiC power amplifier, switch, and GaAs low noise amplifier with an integrated limiter, offering 5 W saturated output power, 40% power added efficiency, and 32 dB gain in transmit mode, and 16 dB gain, 2.5 dB noise figure, and 21 dBm OIP3 in receive mode.
In Ku-Band (12–18 GHz), the CMPA1F1H060 GaN-on-SiC MMIC provides 80 W saturated output power, 25 dB large signal gain, and 35% power added efficiency in pulsed operation, available in bare die, surface mount QFN, and flange formats.
MACOM also introduced RF and microwave high-power passives, including the MABA-011164 1:1 RF Transmission Line Transformer and ENGPD00322A-SM Wideband Power Divider, designed for applications requiring over 100 W power handling. More details are available at www.macom.com.
