Aerospace & Defense Electronics丨Tell you the reasons why you should choose ADI

ADI leads the way in many important innovation areas facing the aerospace and defense industry, including SWaP+C, COTS, Enhanced Products (EP), and GaN. Today's advanced aerospace and defense systems involve many areas such as radar, communications, avionics, etc., so the highest level of system-level performance is needed more than ever. ADI's superior products, broad product portfolio, and system-level knowledge will help you overcome your toughest design challenges.

ADI provides components for a wide range of signal chains, from raw data acquisition to millimeter wave and back, and supports SWaP initiatives with consistent technology leadership. For example, we invest in multiple manufacturing processes, including gallium nitride (GaN), advanced SiGe and CMOS, to increase power and integration, and continue to reduce product size. Industry-leading next-generation high power amplifiers (HPA), integrated RF transceivers, ultra-wideband phase-locked loops (PLLs) and synthesizers fully demonstrate that ADI has been working tirelessly to develop optimized SWaP+C technologies to serve the aerospace and defense market segments.

Optimized for aerospace and defense systems

The advantages of COTS include the use of lower-cost components that have established a complete high-volume manufacturing process and high reliability through operations in the commercial field, and can be applied to the defense field through reinforcement or connector modification. ADI's concentrated investment in the aerospace and defense fields ensures that the next-generation equipment has special functions and features that meet the stringent requirements of the next-generation aerospace and defense systems.

ADI is committed to helping its aerospace partners succeed

ADI has 50 years of technology leadership and rich experience, from original chips to high-speed components and connector modification parts for rapid prototyping, to modules for integration/customization, to special subsystem-level design and manufacturing. In the process of technological advancement, ADI continues to invest heavily to support the long-term needs of aerospace/defense users. Our products include custom screening, pin-compatible replacements for technology upgrades, and reinforced plastic and fully sealed packages for harsh environments.

Our aerospace/defense partners benefit from sharing our knowledge—including ADI’s next-generation technology product roadmap, our customers’ design, performance, product lifecycle, procurement, and plug-in needs. ADI is committed to strengthening the relationship by providing designers and project managers with support and tools for everything from new design product selection to future upgrade planning.

ADI has optimized the performance of its products for an extremely wide frequency band range from S to Ka band. ADI has many years of rich experience and history in die mounting and cooling, biasing and combination technology. Our goal is to provide users with the highest performance and most reliable GaN amplifier solutions.

Solutions to Today’s GaN Challenges

Power efficiency and thermal management are undoubtedly major challenges for next-generation radar and communication systems that focus on "active electronically scanned array" (AESA) and "multiple-input multiple-output" (MIMO) architectures. GaN's inherent advantages help improve radar sensitivity and reliability, while also providing many system-level advantages such as small size, low weight, low power consumption and low cost (SWaP+C). Other advantages include increased system flexibility to support multi-purpose requirements and the addition of multi-band components. ADI's GaN MMIC product portfolio provides a comprehensive, high-power broadband solution that supports up to 100 W of power in the VHF to Ka band range. At frequencies up to 18 GHz, our solid-state GaN amplifier/combiner solutions are smaller in size and more reliable, and can be a replacement for large traveling wave tube (TWT) amplifiers.
