Major Milestone in Demonstrating the Maturity
of MPAR Technology
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. (“MACOM”) (NASDAQ:MTSI), a
leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave,
millimeterwave and photonic semiconductor products, and the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory,
today announced successful field tests of Multifunction Phased
Array Radar technology (MPAR). The first MPAR–based system was
successfully deployed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory in
Oklahoma.

MPAR technology is envisioned to be the foundation for the next
generation of civil radar networks, integrating eight separate
legacy radar functions into a single multifunction platform.
Developed by MIT Lincoln Laboratory under sponsorship of the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the system leverages an array of
MACOM-manufactured phased array tiles to transmit and receive
pulses of radar energy to detect and track weather systems, while
at the same time providing civil air surveillance.
Used by NOAA, MPAR-based systems can increase forecast accuracy
for severe weather events such as tornadoes and facilitate earlier
major storm warnings, which ultimately lead to saved lives. In
addition to early weather tracking, MPAR technology supports air
traffic control functionality. Built over three decades ago, the
current air traffic control network is approaching obsolescence and
upgrading to MPAR-based systems will provide improved awareness in
air traffic patterns, increasing safety and flight
efficiencies.
“This successful test deployment is a significant milestone for
the MPAR technology initiative, demonstrating the maturity of the
technology and the manufacturing processes that underpin it,” said
Dr. Doug Carlson, Vice President of Strategy, MACOM. “The next step
is to move to volume commercial manufacturing that can support the
scale of production of civil and defense deployments in the
field.”
“MPAR technology holds great promise for weather and civil
aviation radar applications, and will ultimately improve the safety
and security of citizens across the nation,” said Jeff Herd, Group
Leader for RF Technology, MIT Lincoln Laboratory. “The successful
MPAR field testing is an important step forward in demonstrating
the commercial and functional viability of this sophisticated
technology.”
