Company profile
Diamond Microwave
Designs and manufactures GaN and GaAs solid-state microwave power amplifiers in Saltaire.
Company overview
Diamond Microwave develops and manufactures solid-state microwave power amplifiers for radar, communications and directed-energy applications. Its products use gallium nitride and gallium arsenide technology, providing a specialised compound-semiconductor component connection. The company offers standard and bespoke amplifiers across broadband, medium-power and high-power requirements, targeting terrestrial, airborne and space systems. Its emphasis is on compact amplifier products with size, weight and power advantages, rather than a documented semiconductor foundry operation. The current contact page identifies premises at Salts Mill in Saltaire, West Yorkshire. The company also records a strategic investment by TMD Technologies in 2020 that supported collaboration on solid-state microwave products for aerospace and defence. The reviewed material does not establish in-house MMIC design or wafer fabrication; the profile therefore describes the evidenced amplifier activity.
