General Microwave's core technology revolves around complex integrated microwave assemblies for both military and commercial applications.

Since its inception in 1960, General Microwave Corporation has been dedicated to the principle of designing and producing high quality products that utilize and advance the state-of-the-art. A heavy emphasis on internal research and development throughout its history has led to the creation of a broad line of catalogue products that include instrumentation such as power and radiation meters and solid state components such as control devices, phase shifters and oscillators. Among the numerous innovative products it has brought to market are: the first commercially available broadband, thin film thermoelectric power meter; the first broadband microwave radiation hazard meters; the first broadband coaxial solid-state microwave attenuator; the first digital peak power meter and the first broadband solid-state vector modulators/phase shifters.

Products and Technologies

Today, General Microwave's core technology revolves around complex integrated microwave assemblies for both military and commercial applications. General Microwave works with you and supports you with cost-effective solutions throughout the lifetime of your project. General Microwave has received both SBA and customer awards for on-time delivery, quality and performance.

Control Components

Phase shifters, vector modulators, switches, attenuators and limiters, based on PIN diode and proprietary coupler technology, operating from RF to millimeter wave frequencies.

Oscillators

High-performance voltage controlled oscillators (VCOs), digitally tuned oscillators (DTOs) and dielectric resonator oscillators (DROs) in the microwave frequency range. The VCOs and DTOs feature fast settling time, low post tuning drift and low phase noise. The DROs feature excellent temperature stability and low phase noise. Custom oscillators have been developed for demanding airborne receiver, jamming, simulator and industrial sensor applications.

Integrated Microwave Assemblies

The technological base at General Microwave has been broadened to include high performance amplifiers, mixers and filters needed to build small, integrated assemblies, required by our customers.

Examples include: Phase and Amplitude control modules for simulators, consisting of MMIC amplifiers, IQ vector modulators, attenuators, switch filters, temperature compensation networks; DTO assemblies for airborne radar warning receivers, consisting of VCOs, switches, MMIC amplifiers, filters; radar transceiver assemblies for altimeters, consisting of VCOs, MMIC amplifiers, isolators, phase hitters, mixers and switches.

RF Radiation Hazard Meters

The RAHAM® product line serves both the rapidly growing cellular and personal communications industries, as well as the more mature communications marketplaces. Concerns for safety have escalated, as evidenced by tighter RF exposure standards recently imposed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission. General Microwave's compact and cost-effective RAHAM badges serve these needs very well.
