Join Narda-MITEQ at IEEE IMS 2026 MicroApps on Tuesday, June 9 at 12:35 PM for a technical seminar presented by Steven Mazza at the Thomas M. Menino Convention Center - Boston: "Cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers - Overview of Applications, Technological Advancements and Highlight Exceptionally Low Noise Temperatures."

There is an increasing need for RF low noise amplifiers (LNAs) that operate at cryogenic temperatures. This is largely due to growing demand in quantum computing, deep-space communication, radio astronomy, and low-temperature physics research. These applications require LNAs that can amplify extremely weak signals while contributing negligible added noise to the system. To achieve best-in-class noise performance, beyond that traditionally possible, innovations are being investigated and adopted. This talk will provide an overview of applications, discuss technological advancements that allow this noise performance to be realized, and highlight the exceptionally low noise temperatures being achieved today.

Narda-MITEQ is proud to introduce three all-new Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) families, engineered to meet the most demanding requirements across space, cryogenic and broadband applications:

· Space Low Noise Amplifiers (SLNA)
Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) LNAs qualified for space-flight—from LEO constellations to deep-space probes. Ruggedized design, radiation-tolerant components and proven performance ensure your mission stays on course.

· Cryogenic Low Noise Amplifiers (CLNA)
Optimized for 4 K operation, these amplifiers deliver noise temperatures below 10 K while drawing minimal DC power—ideal for radio astronomy, quantum sensing and other cryogenic systems.

· Ultra Low Noise Amplifiers (ULNA)
Achieve industry-leading noise figures without sacrificing gain, linearity or footprint. Built on our proven general-purpose LNA platform, ULNAs offer seamless broadband coverage from 0.1 to 40 GHz (VHF through Ka-band).

Whether you’re designing satellite payloads, scientific instruments or next-generation communications links, Narda-MITEQ’s new LNA families deliver uncompromising sensitivity, reliability and value.

2024-04-30 - Enabling new ways to increase data throughput at millimeter-wave frequencies.

In support of the increasing demand for applications associated with millimeter-wave frequencies, Narda-MITEQ is launching our new Q/V band waveguide components. The latest additions to our portfolio include crossguide couplers, broadwall couplers, terminations, right-angle adapters, and pressure windows. Millimeter-waves allow wireless signals to be focused into narrower beams, enabling increased data transmission across longer distances. The higher and less crowded Q/V band frequencies, between 33GHz and 75GHz, are therefore an expanding target for several different possible applications such as commercial satellite feeder links, wireless backhaul, point to point/point to multi-point radio links, radio astronomy, remote sensing, and automotive radar just to name a handful. Our Q/V band waveguide components uphold the esteemed legacy of Narda-MITEQ in delivering reliable solutions with superior quality and robust performance required for these applications.
