Northrop Grumman to show at three Semiconductor events in Phoenix
Northrop Grumman has announced that it will participate in three Phoenix, Arizona-area conventions focused on microwave and semiconductor technology: the International Microwave Symposium 2015 (IMS), the 2015 International Conference on Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology (CS ManTech) and the 2015 Reliability of Compound Semiconductors (ROCS) workshop.
"Advancements in compound semiconductor technology have a significant impact on global security and communications markets, affecting a broad range of products from radar systems to satellite systems to mobile devices," said Frank Kropschot, general manager, microelectronics products and services, Northrop Grumman.
"Our talented scientists and engineers are working every day to improve the products we provide to our customers and to push the limits of our capabilities. Our presence at these events underscores the importance Northrop Grumman places on this business."
Throughout the week, Northrop Grumman will present several papers, including a summary of the highest output power ever achieved from a single chip Ka-band GaN MMIC power amplifier that peaked at 40W at 27GHz and demonstrated significant advancement over current published results.
At IMS, Northrop Grumman will sponsor the Student Awards Luncheon which honours the winners of 16 different design competitions. The company is also a platinum corporate sponsor for CS ManTech, and has technical leaders in both the Executive Committee and Technical Program Committees.
Continuing the company's reputation for transitioning leading edge communications products into everyday use, Northrop Grumman will present several new semiconductor products including high power amplifiers covering X-Band, Ku-Band and Ka-Band.
Northrop Grumman design and makes high-speed components for cellular and broadband wireless systems as well as aerospace, defence and scientific applications. The company also offers foundry services that use GaN, GaAs and InP semiconductor manufacturing processes.
