Farran to develop Schottky MMICS for ESA
Category: Company Bulletins
Farran to expand space sensor products
Nov 2006: Farran Technology (FLT), together with Tyndall National Institute and United Monolithic semiconductors (UMS), has received an ESA project for development of Schottky MMICs for sub-millimetre wave frequencies. The aim is to use UMS’s existing Schottky process (BES) with additional post-processing to custom design single, series-connected and anti-parallel pairs for frequency operation up to 300 GHz. The project also includes development of mixers for these frequencies, that will be used to characterise the RF performance of the “new” diodes.
The diodes will be used to enhance Farran's capabilties in space borne sensor applications.'
