Millimeter Wave Power Amplifier Manufacturers: E, V, W Band

This page introduces millimeter wave power amplifier manufacturers or vendors operating in various bands, including E band, V band, and W band. We’ll cover E band power amplifiers, V band power amplifiers, and W band power amplifiers.

Introduction

A power amplifier that operates in the millimeter frequency range (i.e., 30 GHz to 300 GHz) is known as a millimeter wave power amplifier.

The following table outlines the various millimeter wave frequency bands:

millimeter wave frequency bands

A power amplifier is typically used before mmWave signal transmission from an antenna. It amplifies the signal to compensate for path loss. It’s a crucial component in millimeter wave systems, employed in a wide array of applications such as communication transceivers, radar front-ends, and power blocks for multiple chains.
