Foundry Partners - Northrop Grumman
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide.
Microelectronics Products and Services (MPS) provides commercial access to Northrop Grumman’s state-of-the-art Advanced Semiconductor Foundry. The foundry has a history of facilitating technological advancements that have allowed Northrop Grumman to redefine the commercial telecommunications industry.
- Their GaAs HBT process sparked the cell phone power amplifier revolution of the late 1990s.
- Their GaAs HEMT chipset (under the Velocium Products label) enabled the 23/26 and 38 GHz point-to-point wireless telecom market (2001).
- They provided the first GaAs chipsets for the V-band (2001), E-band (2004), and W-band (2002) frequency ranges.
MPS continues to lead the way forward by leveraging its expertise in GaAs, InP, and GaN technologies to provide discriminating MMICs in wireless E-band telecom, W-band radar, and satcom high power amplifiers.
