MACOM showcases advanced RF and microwave solutions at IMS 2025
At the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium (IMS 2025) in Moscone Center, San Francisco, CA, USA (15–20 June), MACOM Technology Solutions Inc of Lowell, MA, USA is showcasing its portfolio of high-performance RF, microwave and millimeter-wave (mmWave) solutions and foundry services, with technical experts available to highlight performance advantages, plus a full lineup of technical presentations throughout the show.
In booth #943, MACOM is featuring 16 hands-on technology demonstrations showcasing real-time performance and results, including many of its new products for electronic warfare (EW), radar and SATCOM applications. Demonstrations include a high-performance wideband low-noise amplifier (LNA) and power amplifier (PA); X-band PA pallet and front end module; C-band linearizers and PAs; Q-band linearizer; Ka-band and Ku-band PAs; E-band upconverter and LNA; 2–18GHz solutions including an integrated switched filter bank; a transmit/receive module (TRM) and time delay unit (TDU); switches and limiters as well as a display of a wide variety of RF, microwave and mmWave products.
Booth #1143 is also presenting MACOM’s Foundry Services, highlighting its expertise in gallium nitride (GaN) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) process technologies. The foundry capabilities support the entire product development lifecycle — from design assistance and scalable device models to production-ready processes and quality testing. At IMS 2025, MACOM’s foundry team is available to discuss how its services can help customers move from initial development through high-volume manufacturing with proven high first-pass design success and process reliability.
