I. GaAs Mixed-Media Integrated Circuits (MMICs): High-Integration, Wide-Bandwidth RF Cores

The CML Micro SµRF series of GaAs MMICs are mixed-media integrated circuits built using gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductor material. Leveraging the inherent advantages of GaAs—such as excellent high-frequency characteristics, high electron mobility and low noise figure, combined with advanced integrated circuit design and manufacturing processes, to achieve high integration and performance optimisation of RF functions, thereby overcoming the limitations of traditional discrete components, such as large size, complex wiring and high loss.

This series of GaAs MMICs covers a broad frequency range from low frequencies to millimetre waves, spanning an ultra-wide band from 30 kHz to 50 GHz. Among these, specialised models designed for applications such as satellite communications and 5G millimetre waves—such as the MMA-273336D-M5—achieve highly efficient coverage of the 27–33 GHz Ka-band, with an output power of up to 4 W, making it CML Micro’s flagship solution for the satellite communications sector. In terms of structural design, this series employs advanced monolithic integration technology, integrating multiple RF functional modules—including amplifiers, filters, switches and matching networks—onto a single chip. This not only significantly reduces the device’s size but also minimises signal loss caused by external wiring, thereby enhancing the system’s overall stability.

In terms of performance characteristics, CML Micro’s GaAs MMICs offer the core advantages of high gain, low noise and high linearity. Taking the CMX90A702, designed for the 5G FR2 band (26.5–29.5 GHz), as an example, this three-stage GaAs MMIC amplifier delivers an output power of +25 dBm. Whilst meeting the requirements of the 5G New Radio (NR) n257 and n261, whilst achieving excellent linearity and gain flatness, effectively preventing signal distortion and ensuring the stability of high-speed data transmission. Furthermore, this product series supports the integration of input/output matching circuits, active bias circuits and DC-blocking capacitors, simplifying peripheral circuit design and reducing both system development complexity and production costs. It is suitable for applications with stringent requirements regarding size, power consumption and performance, such as satellite communication terminals, 5G base stations, radar systems and UAV communications.

In terms of reliability, CML Micro’s GaAs MMICs have undergone rigorous environmental and performance testing. They are capable of withstanding harsh operating conditions such as high and low temperatures and high vibration, meeting the high reliability standards required in sectors such as aerospace and defence. They also offer the advantage of a long service life, making them suitable for industrial and military applications requiring long-term, stable operation.

II. GaN High-Power Amplifiers: High-Efficiency, High-Power RF Power Engines

To address the demands of high-power RF applications, the CML Micro SµRF series has launched a range of high-power amplifiers based on gallium nitride (GaN). As a third-generation wide-bandgap semiconductor material, GaN offers higher breakdown voltage, higher electron mobility and higher operating temperatures compared to GaAs. It enables greater output power and higher energy efficiency within a smaller chip area, making it an ideal material for high-power RF amplifiers.

This series of GaN high-power amplifiers focuses on core applications such as satellite communications, military radio stations, mesh networks and radar systems, and offers a range of differentiated products covering various frequency bands and power requirements. Among these, the CMX90A301S5, a next-generation compact linear GaN power amplifier with a saturation output power of up to 10W, has been specifically optimised for MANET radio stations and advanced military communication systems. Whilst ensuring high-power output, it achieves excellent linearity and efficiency, effectively enhancing communication range and signal quality. Furthermore, CML Micro has introduced GaN power amplifiers for the Ka-band, which can be used to develop cost-effective commercial satellite communication terminal equipment, thereby addressing the demand for high-efficiency, compact, high-power RF components in the commercial satellite communications sector.

In terms of performance optimisation, CML Micro’s GaN high-power amplifiers employ advanced power synthesis technology and thermal management design, resolving the heat dissipation challenges faced by GaN devices during high-power operation and enhancing the devices’ operational stability and service life. The products feature wide-band operation, with certain models covering the 2.7–8.5 GHz frequency band. They deliver high gain and flat gain characteristics, making them suitable for multi-band, multi-mode communication systems. Furthermore, this product series supports low-voltage operation (e.g. 2.7–4.5 V), reducing system power consumption and making it suitable for power-sensitive mobile RF equipment such as portable and vehicle-mounted devices.

Compared with traditional GaAs high-power amplifiers, CML Micro’s GaN products offer significant improvements in power density, energy efficiency and operating temperature. They maintain stable performance output in high-temperature environments, making them suitable for extreme operating conditions such as those in aerospace and defence applications. They are also applicable in civilian high-power RF fields such as industrial heating and medical equipment, demonstrating broad application potential.

III. Field-Effect Transistors (FETs): Flexible and Cost-Effective RF Core Components

In addition to integrated MMICs and high-power amplifiers, the CML Micro SµRF series also offers high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs). As fundamental core components in RF systems, these provide customers with flexible circuit design options and are suitable for scenarios requiring customised device configurations and tailored RF circuits.

The FETs in this series are primarily based on GaAs material and, leveraging CML Micro’s mature semiconductor manufacturing processes, deliver high linearity, low noise and high reliability. Among these, the MWT-11F89 is a high-linearity GaAs FET in an SOT-89 package, capable of delivering an output power of up to 1.5W. Utilising the most popular compact package in the RF industry, it effectively saves PCB space and is specifically tailored for long-lifecycle applications such as aerospace and defence. It achieves a balance between miniaturisation and high reliability whilst ensuring performance. Furthermore, this series of field-effect transistors covers a wide frequency range and can meet the core functional requirements of various RF systems, such as amplification, switching and mixing, providing flexible foundational support for RF circuit design.

In terms of packaging and application compatibility, CML Micro’s discrete field-effect transistors are available in a variety of package types, including compact packages such as SOT-89 and QFN, to meet the requirements for size, heat dissipation and mounting methods in different scenarios. The products feature excellent solderability and immunity to interference, and can be flexibly combined with other discrete components. They are suitable for the design of circuit modules such as small- and medium-power RF amplifiers, RF switches and oscillators, and are widely used in fields including consumer communications equipment, industrial sensors, automotive electronics and defence and military equipment.

Compared with integrated devices, discrete field-effect transistors offer better value for money and greater design flexibility, allowing customers to configure circuit modules independently according to their actual system requirements, thereby optimising system performance and cost. Furthermore, CML Micro provides comprehensive technical support and specification data for its discrete field-effect transistors, helping customers to complete circuit design and debugging quickly and shorten product development cycles.
