DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. (July 29, 2026) – Richardson RFPD, Inc., an Arrow Electronics company, today announced the availability of a comprehensive portfolio of United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS) GaAs and GaN RF solutions designed to help customers meet the growing performance, efficiency, and reliability demands of modern satellite communications (SATCOM) and high-frequency systems.

The portfolio includes low-noise amplifiers (LNAs), power amplifiers (PAs), and frequency conversion products supporting applications across L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka, and Q bands. With broad frequency coverage and proven performance, these solutions provide engineers with the flexibility to address a wide range of SATCOM, radar, and wireless infrastructure requirements.

By combining the high-power density and efficiency of GaN technology with the exceptional low-noise and high-frequency performance of GaAs, UMS solutions help enable designers to optimize size, weight, and power (SWaP), extend system capability, and improve overall network performance. These benefits are especially critical for next-generation GEO, MEO, and LEO satellite constellations, where reliability, efficiency, and throughput are essential to mission success.

In addition to supporting advanced satellite architecture, UMS solutions help reduce design complexity and accelerate time-to-market for both fixed and mobile ground terminal applications. Richardson RFPD further supports customers with deep RF expertise, application guidance, and technical resources to streamline product selection, shorten development cycles, and reduce design risk.
