Plextek Ltd.

RF IC design and MMIC design (Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuit design) are services that Plextek has been providing to its clients for over 10 years. In that time we have carried out the design of over 30 RFICs and MMICs using a range of Si IC and GaAs IC processes and foundries. We have experience of using foundries in Europe, the US and the Far East and have undertaken IC design using a wide range of semiconductor processes, including: Si bipolar, Si RF CMOS, AlGaAs HBT, InGaP HBT, GaAs MESFET, PHEMT and PIN diode. Our IC design experience cover frequencies from baseband (low-IF receivers with baseband demodulation) to mm-wave MMICs operating at frequencies beyond 40GHz. Our chip designers are from a commercial background with experience of taking IC designs from conception through to high volume manufacture and are aware of the issues associated with packaging, verification, validation, production test, yield and cost.
