Microwave Journal recently featured Micro Harmonics’ new hybrid circulators in WR-12 (70 to 86 GHz), WR-10 (85 to 104 GHz) and WR-8 (107 to 133 GHz) millimeter waveguide bands in their June 2023 magazine, as well as online, and on their Frequency Matters podcast. Read the press release here.

“The D-band is the new E-band” read the shirts worn by Virginia Diodes (VDI) employees at a recent microwave symposium. Covering 60-90 GHz, the E-band is a well-established high-capacity solution for a number of mmWave applications. Advancements in test and measurement equipment are allowing millimeter wave component manufacturers and systems designers to ramp up production at mmWave and THz frequencies.

It is not just telecom that will require the added bandwidth available within the D-band. Industries like military & defense, remote sensing and security, atmospheric science, radio astronomy, and automotive are all racing to unlock these higher frequencies. Read an article from EEDesignIt that discusses how our millimeter wave components are helping system designers move up into the Terahertz regime (click here to download). “Micro [...]

David Porterfield, CEO of Micro Harmonics Corporation, wrote a paper for IEEE on a new broadband hybrid circulator that has been developed for use at millimeter-wave (MMW) frequencies. The hybrid circulator comprises a Faraday rotator and an orthomode transducer (OMT) which work together to produce the circulator function. These patent-pending designs can cover 24% fractional bandwidths with low insertion loss and more than 20 dB [...]

“Micro Harmonics has really been innovative in mmWave and THz regime having designed a full line of millimeter wave isolators from 50 to 400 GHz,” states Jeffrey Hesler, Ph.D., CTO of Virginia Diodes, Inc. “In fact, it’s those isolators that enable our extender analyzers to operate at those higher frequencies.” Read the full story in Microwave Product Digest (or click here to download the print [...]

Micro Harmonics Corporation has announced the release of its hybrid circulators in three new millimeter waveguide bands: WR-12 (70-86 GHz), WR-10 (85-104 GHz), and WR-8 (107-133 GHz). These patent-pending hybrid circulators can cover 24% fractional bandwidths with low insertion loss and more than 20 dB of isolation. Their wideband performance is verified from the comprehensive test data that Micro Harmonics provides with every component. Read the [...]

Micro Harmonics was featured in a recent article in U.S. Tech (print and online) discussing the issues with moving up into mmWave frequencies (click here to download). “At the D-band, you are looking at 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps). That is a ton of bandwidth,” says Jeffrey Hesler, Ph.D., CTO of Virginia Diodes, Inc. (VDI). “So, everyone is asking the same question, ‘how do we [...]

Inc. magazine has revealed its fourth annual Inc. 5000 Regionals list and Micro Harmonics is ranked at No. 134. The prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States offers a unique look at some of the most successful independent businesses in the nation. “It is an honor to be mentioned among this list of such successful companies,” says David Porterfield, Founder and [...]

The D-band is the new E-band. Covering 60-90 GHz, the E-band is a well-established high-capacity solution for a number of millimeter wave applications. However, there is a growing appetite for more, and meeting that ever-increasing demand for greater data transmitted at higher speeds will require the move up to higher frequencies such as the D-band (110-170 GHz). The problem is that currently, there is simply [...]
