Multi-Functional MICs

Narda pioneered the development and manufacture of microwave integrated circuits (MICs), delivering its first production quantities over 25 years ago for EW receiver programs. These products used carrier based technology to integrate a variety of microwave components into multifunctional assemblies which were housed hermetic machined packages. Many of these designs are still in production. Over the past few years Narda has rapidly advanced the state of the art for producing such products. Utilizing the latest developments in microwave and digital technology, Narda has created the ultimate Microwave Integrated Circuit technology. This technology combines microwave hybrid manufacturing with multilayer printed circuit boards that incorporate advanced digital devices.

These Ultimate MICs surpass the original MICs with

• Very dense integration of microwave, analog and digital functions
• Incorporation of FPGAs for signal processing and temperature compensation
• Improved performance with high reliability
• High volume production at much lower cost

For less stringent requirements Narda now offers a new multifunctional MIC approach which is practical for a variety of requirements, uses new materials and attachment technology, versatile and small size.
