CI-ONE integrates a Ka-band power amplifier and single-pole double-throw (SPDT) RF switch into a compact surface-mount module designed for satellite communication, aerospace, radar and emerging 5G/6G applications. Built using gallium arsenide (GaAs) pHEMT technology, the modules operate from a 6V supply and offer output power options of 30dBm, 34dBm and 36dBm to support 1W, 2W and 4W system architectures. Switching speeds of 5ns enable agile transmit systems while maintaining approximately 22% efficiency at the 1dB compression point. Reduces component count, simplifies RF routing and lowers thermal complexity for Ka-band front-end designs. The integrated architecture is designed to reduce module size by roughly three times while improving efficiency and cutting system costs compared with traditional discrete implementations.
