DARPA funds MixComm to develop mmWave PAs
MixComm, the mmWave specialist, has been contracted by DARPA to fund the development of high-performance, silicon-based mmWave PAs.
MixComm’s technology is based upon research conducted at the Columbia high-Speed and Millimetre-wave IC (CoSMIC) Lab at Columbia University, which is led by Dr. Harish Krishnaswamy (pictured) MixComm co-founder and CTO.
Dr. Krishnaswamy and Dr. Arun Natarajan, MixComm’s VP of RF Technology, have previously worked on numerous DARPA mmWave programs, including Efficient Linearized All-Silicon Transmitter ICs (ELASTx). This new award of $497k from DARPA will build on those efforts.
The MixComm team has more than 10 years of experience working on SOI based mmWave solutions. This deep experience is one reason why MixComm’s initial product, the SUMMIT 2629 beamforming IC for 5G systems, was able to deliver breakthrough performance.
