Markets
MPS' manufactured products can be found in a broad range of applications from wireless telecommunications equipment, wideband communication systems, Millimeter-Wave Imaging to fiber optic products. 

Products & Services
Our product line encompasses broad range of MMICs for Millimeter-wave Imaging, Radar, and Communication applications. Our current catalog of MMIC products include a full range of high performance amplifiers, mixers and other complimentary components covering above 86 GHz. We will be offering additional products at higher frequencies and powers to address new customer requirements.

MPS offers a proven and reliable indium phosphide (InP) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) foundry service from Northrop Grumman Space Technology to customers in the communications, space and defense industries .

Brief History
As one of the largest recipients of DARPA technology development funding for advanced semiconductor technology development, Northrop Grumman Space Technology has a 35 year heritage of delivering high performance, reliable microelectronics.

Northrop Grumman Space Technology heritage in the broadband wireless, wideband communication systems, automotive and VSAT markets began in 1992 as the TRW Space & Electronics MMIC Products Office (MPO). MPO underwent several name changes including GaAs Telecomm Products (GTP) and Wireless Telecomm Products (WTP).

In May of 2001, TRW Space & Electronics launched a separate operating unit named Velocium. Following the merger of TRW and Northrop Grumman, Velocium was re-organized as Velocium Products, a business unit of Northrop Grumman Space Technology.

In October 2007 Northrop Grumman Space Technology entered into a strategic agreement with Hittite Microwave Corporation to license Northrop Grumman's Velocium Product line of Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMIC) and related intellectual property. Under the agreement, NGST licensed to Hittite a specified list of standard products with a frequency of operation through 86 GHz, with Northrop Grumman continuing to sell and develop products above 86 GHz.

In 2008 MPS was born, continuing the mission of making Northrop Grumman Space Technology manufactured products available to customers for for applications such as Millimeter Wave Imaging and Communication at frequencies exceeding 86 GHz.
