(Fullerton, CA) 2/1/18 --- Microwave Packaging Technology, Inc., a company that supplies phased array components and systems, today announced that it received a contract from the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to develop advanced modules. The contract calls for the demonstration of lower cost and increased capability modules that support the MDA mission. Dr. Rick Sturdivant, founder and CTO of MPT said, "We are very pleased to be supporting the MDA in this important work."

(Fullerton, CA) 5/15/17 -- MPT Corporation announced a research effort with Azusa Pacific University (APU) to develop technologies for the detection of drones and UAVs. The technology has to potential to be a low cost method to detect and discriminate drones from other targets such as birds. "This is a significant advance in our radar and remote sensing capabilities," says Dr. Rick Sturdivant, Founder and CTO of MPT. The research will be directed by Dr. Enson Chang who is an Assistant Professor at APU. The radar leverages an existing X-band sensor and uses signal processing for discrimination.

(Fullerton, CA) Microwave Products and Technology (MPT), an innovation leader in custom RF semiconductor and module solutions, today announced it has been certified as a HUBZone Business by the US Small Business Administration. The company was already certified as an American Indian Owned business.

MPT specializes in custom microwave and millimeter-wave electronics products such as transmitters, receivers, up converters, down converters, and antennas that operate in frequency ranges from 5 to 120GHz.

MPT also offers custom MMIC and integrated circuit development service for frequencies from 5-120GHz. MPT designs integrated circuits in GaAs, GaN and SiGe. MPT is also currently developing GaN MMICs on a Navy contract and a SiGe integrated circuit on an Army contract.

The program’s benefits for HUBZone-certified companies include competitive and sole source contracting and a 10% price evaluation preference in full and open contract competitions, as well as subcontracting opportunities.

“We are so pleased to receive our HUBZone certification since it allows us to better serve our customers and create job opportunities in the local community”, said Rick Sturdivant, president and founder of MPT.  

MPT develops solutions for the US Government in electronics and information security. Its electronics group provides communication and radar system products and services. The information security group provides hardware modules and managed security services.

(Fullerton, CA) MPT announced today that it was awarded a $2.85M contract from the US Army for the development of a general purpose radar system operating in the millimeter-wave range (over 30GHz). That radar system is useful for multiple applications such as mapping foliage and high resolution ground imaging. "This program is a significant win for MPT since it will increase our radar system and sub-system capabilities and add to product portfolio," said Rick Sturdivant who is President of MPT. According to Curtis Hanz, VP of Engineering at MPT, “This is a validation of our product solutions and our technology.” Mr. Hanz will be leading the effort on this program for MPT.

(FULLERTON, CA) MPT was selected by a major US Prime DoD contractor to develop a next generation software defined radio system. Software defined radios offer increased system level performance and cost savings. This development is the first phase of a multiphase development program which will culminate in a system which is 5-10 times lower cost than existing systems and yet will achieve the same level of performance. Rick Sturdivant, the company’s president said, “MPT views this contract as a major win since it leverages our existing capability and extends it into new product areas. We expect this to eventually transition into a product line.”

(FULLERTON, CA) The US Navy has selected MPT to continue its development of high power limiter devices based upon Gallium Nitride semiconductor technology. MPT will demonstrate the ability of Gallium Nitride to provide higher levels of protection. “We are thrilled that the US Navy has shown their confidence in our ability to deliver integrated circuit solutions to them. The integrated circuit development capability within MPT will be enhanced by the activity on this program. We are confident that we will deliver a quality product that will have a smooth transition to production.” Rick Sturdivant commented.

(FULLERTON, CA) The US Army has selected MPT to take the next step in demonstrating the millimeter-wave imaging radar system. Millimeter-wave radar systems provide imaging at higher resolution due to the small wavelength. This allows for imaging of ground topologies and for detecting small feature sizes. “The demonstration of this radar will not only highlight the benefits of the new system, it will also increase the capability of MPT to execute on other DoD and US government programs. This is a significant contract win for MPT.” company president Rick Sturdivant commented.

(FULLERTON, CA) The US Government has selected MPT to develop a next generation high power radar at millimeter-wave frequencies. It will provide a general purpose sensor for imaging of ground foliage and will see through dust clouds. This radar will have multiple applications where short wavelengths are required for imaging purposes. Rick Sturdivant commented, “The award of this contract marks a major step forward in the capabilities for MPT. We look forward to proving the feasibility of the millimeter-wave imaging radar since it will provide new capabilities to the US Army and other customers.”
