An Integrated Microwave Assembly (IMA) is a sophisticated electronic module that operates at microwave frequencies.
It combines various components into a single unit to achieve optimal performance, reduced size, weight, and power (SWaP), and enhanced reliability. IMAs are commonly used in aerospace, defense, and space applications.
UEC RF-Microwave leverages its advanced microelectronics expertise to integrate multiple functions into a single, compact unit. This approach not only optimizes performance but also significantly reduces size, weight, and power consumption (SWaP). Such integration enhances the reliability of the systems, making them particularly beneficial for aerospace, defense, and space applications where space constraints and high functionality are critical.
The types of functions that can be integrated into these units, operating within the 10 MHz to 50 GHz range, include, but are not limited to:
- Switches: Used to route signals between different paths.
- Amplifiers: Boost signal strength for better transmission and reception.
- Mixers: Combine or convert frequencies for various signal processing tasks.
- Limiters: Protect sensitive components from high power levels.
- Couplers: Distribute signals to multiple paths or combine signals from different sources.
- Power Dividers: Split a single input signal into multiple output signals with equal or unequal power levels.
By combining these functions into a single unit, UEC RF-Microwave can create highly efficient and reliable systems that meet the demanding requirements of modern aerospace, defense, and space missions.
