Marki Microwave is exhibiting its RF and microwave components at IMS 2026. The company will also be a part of the startup panel session on RF Entrepreneurship and hold a technical workshop on calibration and broadband verification in RF and microwave design. IMS 2026 is the world’s premier RF and microwave conference, bringing together thousands of industry professionals from around the globe to explore the latest technologies, tools, and technical developments.
At Booth #20082, Marki Microwave will showcase several of its technologies, including the recently acquired FastSwitch™ technology, advanced glass filters, high-performance amplifiers, and an Octo-Filter Bank. These components are part of the company’s broader portfolio of RF and microwave building blocks used in signal chain applications.
FastSwitch™ is a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) CMOS-based RF switching technology that provides nanosecond-level switching speeds, supports high power handling (about 5–50 W), and operates into Ka-band frequencies. It enables fast routing of high-frequency signals without the usual trade-off between speed and power, allowing high-performance, compact switching solutions in RF signal chains used in radar, electronic warfare, satellite communications, and advanced test systems.
Marki Microwave will run a live two-tone measurement demonstration on June 10 at 10:30 AM at its booth. The demo will feature a high OIP2 amplifier integrated with glass filters in a test setup using signal generators and a Rohde & Schwarz ZNA. This setup is intended to show the linearity performance of the amplifier and the behavior of the filters under multi-tone signal conditions. The advanced glass filters being showcased use glass substrate technology to enable high-Q designs with improved selectivity, low insertion loss (typically ~1–2 dB), and stable performance across temperature and power conditions, while extending high-performance filtering into approximately 100 MHz to 6 GHz.
The company’s amplifiers are designed to provide high gain (up to ~20–30 dB), strong output power (up to ~20–23 dBm P1dB in many designs), low noise figure (~2.5–4 dB), and high linearity, operating across wide frequency ranges from kHz up to mmWave bands (extending to ~70–95 GHz), supporting applications in radar, electronic warfare, satellite communications, and test systems.
Startup Panel Session
Marki Microwave CEO, Chris Marki, will be a part of the Startup Panel Session titled “RF Entrepreneurship in the Age of AI, New Space, and New Defense,” taking place on Wednesday, June 10 from 11:10 a.m. to 11:55 a.m. at the MicroApps Theater (Booth 15122). The panel will bring together Christopher Marki, CEO Marki Microwave, Tim Greyson from BAE Systems, and Brain Goldstein from Analog Devices to discuss emerging opportunities and challenges shaping RF innovation across evolving technology sectors.
Technical Workshop
On Thursday, 11 June, Marki Microwave will hold a technical workshop titled “The Swiss Army Knife for Calibration and Broadband Verification,” scheduled to take place from 1:30 p.m. to 3:10 p.m. in Room 152 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention Center. Hosted in collaboration with Rohde & Schwarz and Microwave Vision Group (MVG), the session will feature a presentation by Harley Berman Marki Microwave’s Applications Engineering Manager, focusing on practical approaches to calibration and broadband verification in RF and microwave design workflows.
