Around the Circuit

摘要

MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc. announced that it has acquired Linearizer Communications Group, a developer of industry-leading products located in Hamilton, NJ. Linearizer was founded in 1991 by Dr. Allen Katz and specializes in non-linear microwave predistortion for use in terrestrial, avionic and space-based applications and high performance microwave photonic solutions for use in the industrial and defense markets. The Linearizer team uses proprietary design and manufacturing techniques to produce its high performance components and subsystems. Linearizer has a long history of service to its loyal customer base, which is primarily in North America. NI announced the acquisition of SET GmbH, longstanding experts in aerospace and defense test system development and recent innovators in power semiconductor reliability test. Together, the companies will reduce time to market for critical, highly differentiated solutions and accelerate semiconductor-to-transportation supply chain convergence with power electronic materials such as SiC and GaN. Nl first announced a strategic minority investment in SET in 2020 to help aerospace and defense companies solve soaring development costs and integration challenges. The collaboration enhanced a system-on-demand and model-based test approach delivered to shorten time to market schedules, reduce program risk, integrate labs and optimize data and assets.
