YESTERDAY...
From origins in the 1890's to the discovery of the Gunn effect
in GaAs in 1963, millimeter-wave technologies reached few field
applications. The cost of early components and the often short
life time of sources limited system effectiveness and economic
feasibility. The discovery of the Gunn effect marked the beginning
of the age of reliable solid state millimeter wave sources. Innovations
were needed to develop and take full advantage of technological
advances.
TODAY...
Innovations in material, device and circuit technology have yielded
reliable and cost effective technologies suitable for both laboratory
and field applications. ZAX Millimeter Wave Corporation was formed
in 1984 to foster innovations in key areas of millimeter wave
technology. With design, manufacturing and testing facilities
located in southern California, ZAX has the capabilities to efficiently
advance component and system technologies. Antenna technology
has been strengthened by improved manufacturing and design techniques.
Frequency convertors, aided by advances in semiconductor technology
provide state-of-the-art performance. Gunn oscillators now incorporate
Indium Phosphide (InP) devices to provide more power with higher
efficiencies than Galium Arsenide (GaAs). High reliability with
moderate cost facilitates application of millimeter wave technologies
in radio astronomy, radiometry, radar, remote sensing, communication,
and various other EW/ELINT applications.
TOMORROW...
With in-house, vertically integrated hardware development capability,
ZAX will remain on the forefront of technology with state-of-the-art
performance products. Firm commitments to manufacture high quality
products, and to satisfy customer need will assure the growth
of ZAX, and enhance the advancement of millimeter wave technology.
ZAX COMMITTMENT TO QUALITY...
Commitments to quality and service are requirements in the
business world today. At ZAX, we take pride in our high quality
products and place special emphasis on customer satisfaction .
