Integrated Microwave Assemblies & RF Modules

ATEK MIDAS vertically integrates ICs, modules, and sub-systems to achieve performance that empowers our customers to win, covering DC to 95 GHz.

We Vertically Integrate ICs, Modules & Sub-Systems to Achieve Performance that Empowers Our Customers to Win

ATEK Midas leverages a portfolio of standard and custom ASIC, RFIC & MMIC products to develop custom RF Modules and Integrated Microwave Assemblies (IMAs) for a wide range of customer applications. We combine custom GaAs, GaN & silicon IC design capabilities with COTS components to provide performance-driven SWAP-C-optimized modules in the DC to 95 GHz frequency range.

Our customers utilize our technologies in a variety of automotive, communication, IoT/industrial, radar, test bench, OTA test sites, aerospace, and defense applications.

Our team has expertise in RF system architecture design, evaluation and debugging. We can provide a complete system by pairing the RF/microwave front end with data conversion back end and power management.

We can package any of our standard or custom IC products in a connectorized RF/microwave module housing. Available custom multi-function product form factors include: Laminate MCM, Pallet, Sub-System MIC Hybrid Module, Sub-System COTS PCB, Bench Top, or Rack Mount.
