Skyworks Solutions unveils new high reliability solutions for demanding military and space apps

Skyworks Solutions, an innovator of high performance analog semiconductors connecting people, places and things, unveiled its latest high reliability solutions for demanding military and space applications with stringent operating requirements.

Skyworks’ hermetically sealed, broadband low-noise and impedance-matched amplifiers function in harsh environments and can be leveraged in a multitude of communication platforms.

With all peripheral components integrated into an optimized ceramic QFN package, these devices simplify the design process and reduce board space while delivering robust performance for next generation aerospace and defense applications such as satellites and avionics systems.

“Skyworks is excited to introduce advanced products that operate seamlessly under severe conditions,” said Achim Soelter, general manager of defense and space for Skyworks.

“With the expansion of our portfolio, we continue to push the performance envelope, powering mission critical functions across navigation, communication and radar networks that must work day-in and day-out without fail.”

According to an estimate from BCC Research, the global satellite communications market, one segment of the aerospace and defense industry, is estimated to reach nearly $7.5 billion by 2022, up from nearly $4.6 billion in 2017, or a compounded annual growth rate of 11 percent.
