When you've got a product on the launching pad, the window of opportunity doesn't stay open for very long. So you need a partner that offers speed, flexibility and timely execution of your plans. A partner like KDI-Integrated.

Aeroflex / KDI-Integrated "puts the pedal to the metal" for you with a broad range of RF/microwave signal processing components, enbedded microprocessor firmware design, which helps us reduce the time it takes to create subassemblies, first articles and production runs on a priority basis. We also offer complete in-house capabilities that include design and environmental testing as well as manufacturing facilities that include PCBs and hybrids. It all adds up to quick and cost-effective subassembly design and manufacture.

• Microstrip and stripline component and circuit manufacturing.
• R&D, design, production, and test capabilities through 40 GHz.
• Complete surface mount manufacturing, including laser trimming, pick-and-place, automatic solder reflow, robotic soldering, automated testing.

Aeroflex / KDI-Integrated has a vast library of modular circuits designs from years of manufacturing products for the rf and microwave industry. This resource includes a broad range of design for passive and active signal processing components, including diode attenuators, phase shifters, digital time delay units, LNA's, switches, modulators, dividers combiners and couplers, ferrites, levelers, and duplexers, and many other components. to support the development of new integrated functions.

The availability of this information greatly reduces the risk in meeting all specifications in new application designs, because the new designs generally become a "re-pachaging " of what has been done before, to meet current cost and performance objectives. Response times and prototype development cycles are greatly reduced, and manufacturing cost savings are quickly realized.

Primary products include Integrated subassemblies for base station self-diagnostics, with PIN diode switch matrixes, combiners, couplers, digital circuitry, up-down converters. Vector modulators for power amplifier spurious cancellation circuits, the vector modulators provide continuous phase shift attention change, and are packaged in the new surfpac , surface mount packages for high volume manufacturing.

Aeroflex / KDI offers wide range of high power switch matrixes and combiners, integrating low intermod Aluminum Nitride termiantions produced in the Resistive Products Film Group.

Custom direction couplers and dividers for signal distribution to multiple receivers, in latest low cost packaging techniques employing castings, extrusions, with low loss and high isolation performance, over all cellular, PCS, 3G, and other wireless and frequency bands.

Recently, Aeroflex / KDI has added a low - loss high Q cavity filter capability, combined with LNA , switching and monitoring circuits. Next generation products in process in include millimeter frequency component and subassembly products for the LMDS and other wireless markets. Aeroflex / /KDI-Integrated Products is well known for its depth of microwave engineering talent and its diversity of complex product and subsystems capability. The company also has extensive surface mount capability and technology.

Highly-integrated solutions that include:

• Active and passive RF/microwave components
• Analog and digital signal processing
• Microprocessors
