About the Company
Axiom Microdevices Inc. is a supplier of Power Amplifiers and other RF semiconductor devices for the worldwide mobile handset market. Axiom's technology innovation is the ability to implement high power RF components using conventional Silicon CMOS technology, enabling Watt level RF power amplifiers without the requirement for a module package or GaAs processes. This technology reduces both design complexity and cost for handset manufacturers.
Company Heritage
Axiom's innovative technology was developed at Caltech and serves as the foundation for Axiom's existing and future products. The core innovation is a new class of amplifier and device structure called a DAT – Distributed Active Transformer. The DAT solved many of the critical barriers to generating high power in Silicon CMOS.
