MICRONETICS
Micronetics is a manufacturer of Microwave RF components, highly integrated subassemblies and test solutions that successfully enable and test the applications served by the defense, aerospace, commercial, and industrial markets. Micronetics' RF Microwave Component product family consists of high performance receiver components, noise components, voltage controlled oscillator components, linearized and non-linearized power amplifier components, mixer and ferrite components.
Receiver components
Components such as switches, attenuators, phase shifters, detectors and ferrites are used widely in military ground-based, shipboard and airborne radar for tracking and simulation, phased array radar, electronic warfare systems, electronic intelligence and tactical/satellite communication systems. In addition, receiver components have commercial applications such as wireless communications, radar surveillance and test equipment to support systems. Products offer several competitive technical advantages, including a dedicated high power design and development facility, which manufactures receiver components in power levels up to 1200W CW (carrier wave). In addition, Micronetics also offers high power testing services.
Mixer Products
Our Frequency Conversion Products Division, MICA, features a complete product line of mixers, frequency doublers and IQ Modulators ranging in frequencies from 0.01 GHz to 26.5 GHz. Our series of mixer designs covers all microwave frequency bands from communication to ultra-broadband, for military applications with wide section of IF bands and input power levels.

Choose from over 100 proven Mixers in-stock or ready-to-build models, or connect with our engineers to have a mixer designed to your specifications.
Voltage controlled oscillators
(VCOs) provide a precise signal source within a given frequency range. These products generate sinusoidal signals in frequency ranges from 100MHz to over 7.5GHz, utilizing packaged silicon bipolar transistors that are controlled by an input voltage signal. Our VCOs are used in wireless applications including some military communications and satellite voice/messaging. We offer products in a series of narrow-band, wide-band and selective octave tuning bandwidths. Depending on the series, packaging configurations for MIL and commercial applications include PIN types, SMT, hermetic and miniature packages.
Noise components
Noice components are employed in testing and measuring sophisticated communication systems to determine the quality of the reception and transmission of information. The widest application for our noise components is as a reference standard in test instruments that measure unwanted noise in devices and components. Our noise components are used in wireless communication systems as part of built-in test equipment to continuously monitor the quality of the receiver. The major application of the noise source components involves some function of detection, calibration, simulation, security and statistical analysis. The components apply impulses of noise to the receiver to measure the radar sensitivity, signal gain, and frequency bandwidth. Our components used in conjunction with other electronic components are an effective means of jamming, blocking and disturbing hostile radar and other communications, as well as insulating and protecting friendly communications. Micronetics' noise source components are also used to test satellite communications and automated test equipment.
