Abstract
Application of MMIC technologies for programs developed in the European Technology and Research Center (ESTEC) is discussed. The ESTEC activities covered the assessment of MMIC capabilities in terms of production yield and reproducibility using a two-stage X-band amplifier, examination of basic design and utilization MMIC requirements for space applications, and development of MMIC devices for future programs. It is concluded that ESTEC has been heavily involved in promoting and developing the MMIC technology and contributed to better understanding of the technology.
