CML Micro is showcasing its satellite communications semiconductor portfolio at SATShow 2026 for the first time. The event, which brings together commercial innovators, government organisations, defence leaders and technology suppliers from across the aerospace ecosystem, is taking place in Washington D.C from 23–26 March. CML Micro is exhibiting alongside distribution partner RFMW at Booth 1658.
CML Micro designs and builds high-performance communication semiconductors for a wide range of satellite and space applications. Its portfolio includes GaAs and GaN RF and mmWave devices spanning key satellite frequency bands including Ku-, K- and Ka-Band, enabling deployment across satellite payloads, gateways, SatCom terminals and next-generation constellations.
Power amplifiers on display at the booth include:
MMA-121633-M5 - A 12.5 to 15.5 GHz 2 W power amplifier, designed to deliver high efficiency and linearity for demanding satellite communications applications
CMX90A705 - The CMX90A705 from CML Microcircuits is a Two-Stage GaN Power Amplifier that operates from 27.5 to 31 GHz. It delivers a saturated output power of 5.5 W (~37.4 dBm) with a small signal gain of 16.5 dB and PAE of 22%. This Ka-Band amplifier is fabricated using a state-of-the-art 0.15 µm gate length GaN-on-SiC process. It requires a DC supply of 22 to 28 V and consumes 860 mA of current.

At the event, CML Micro will also showcaset its flagship 27 to 33 GHz, 4 W MMIC power amplifier - MMA-273336D-M5. This represents its most powerful SATCOM solution to date. It can also be used as a standalone device or a building block for high power solutions.
Beyond these featured products, CML Micro offers a range of wideband gain blocks and power amplifiers developed for high frequency, high-linearity performance. These solutions help RF engineers and system designers to meet increasing demands for bandwidth, efficiency and reliability across both spaceborne platforms and ground infrastructure.
These devices can also be delivered through defined screening and space-qualification pathways to meet the stringent requirements of advanced aerospace and satellite programmes. They support mission-critical communications, including satellite-enabled data links, defence communications networks and applications in military, emergency response and disaster recovery environments.
“The satellite market is evolving rapidly as operators continue to deploy higher-capacity constellations and increasingly sophisticated ground infrastructure,” said Furtuna. “SATShow provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate how our suite of GaAs and GaN RF products help facilitate next-generation satellite communications systems.”
Visitors to the tradeshow are invited to meet with CML Micro’s senior team to discuss the company’s extensive range of GaAs and GaN RF and mmWave semiconductor technologies and how they address evolving performance and reliability requirements in modern satellite communications systems. Those unable to attend SATShow can reach out directly to CML Micro or its distributor RFMW to learn more about its products, design support and service capabilities.
