Fabless semiconductor startup mmTron is exhibiting at International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2023 in San Diego this week. In booth #343, mmTron staff is discussing how the company’s designers are developing disruptive MMICs that extend output power, linearity, and efficiency — simultaneously — to extend the reach and data capacity of mmWave communications systems.
MicroApps Presentation — mmTron’s approach to this power, linearity, and efficiency challenges will be explained by Seyed Tabatabaei, mmTron’s founder, president, and CEO, in his MicroApps presentation “mmWave PAs: Why Sacrifice High Power for Linearity?” This will take place today, Wednesday, June 14, at 1:00 p.m., in the MicroApps theater on the exhibition floor.
Differential to Single-Ended High-Speed DAC Interface Demo — mmTron is also highlighting a unique IC module that converts the differential output of a high-speed digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to a clean, low noise, single-ended RF signal. The TMC160 integrates anti-alias filters, quasi-differential low noise amplifiers, and a balun with bias T in a 7 mm x 7 mm surface-mount package. The TMC160 will be demonstrated with a Texas Instruments high-speed DAC.
Distributed Amplifier Family — As part of its focus on mmWave, mmTron has designed a family of broadband distributed amplifier MMICs with upper frequencies from 20 to 160 GHz, for applications like instrumentation and EW. To support 6G research programs, the company offers the TMC774, with a frequency response from DC to 160 GHz.
