We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "MMIC",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Receivers cover microwave bands from 7 to 28GHz from
Link Microtek, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nine GaAs MMIC receiver products integrate LNAs, I/Q mixers and multipliers or LO amplifiers to provide compact solutions with a very high level of performance".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Microwave generator achieves high frequencies from
Anritsu (UK): "The VCO-based architecture of the MG37020A microwave signal generator integrates advanced RF hardware, enhanced computing and digital interfaces that minimise command and trigger delays".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Mimix Broadband
concerning its XP1031-QK
- take a look at Power amp completes 38GHz integrated chipset
which says: "SMT packaged four-stage GaAs MMIC linear power amplifier is ideal for wireless communications applications such as point-to-point radio, LMDS, satcom and Vsat applications".
Take a look also at the news release from Plextek, GaAs MMIC design wins approval,
as well as MMIC combo balances millimetre-wave links from Mimix Broadband,
and Transmitter IC eases onboard RF design from Mimix Broadband.
