An integrated microwave assembly (IMA) is a high-frequency electronic module that combines several RF and microwave components - such as amplifiers, filters, mixers, and switches - into a single unit. IMAs are commonly used in radar, communication, and electronic warfare systems, offering enhanced performance, reduced size, and improved reliability. These assemblies are typically custom-designed to meet the specific needs of the application, ensuring optimal efficiency and signal integrity.

The main products in integrated microwave assemblies include amplifiers, filters, mixers, oscillators, and switches. Amplifiers in these systems work to boost the power of microwave signals while preserving signal integrity, enabling efficient transmission and reception for applications such as radar, communications, and electronic warfare. These amplifiers utilize technologies such as silicon germanium (SiGe), gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), and gallium nitride (GaN), and support frequencies in bands such as ku-band, ka-band, x-band, c-band, l-band, and s-band. The key end-users for these assemblies are military and defense, communication, and avionics industries.
