From precise defense technologies in fighter aircraft to space exploration and advanced communications systems both on land and above – Qorvo provides the technology expertise, innovations and products for next-generation defense and aerospace systems.
For more than 30 years, Qorvo has enabled innovation for next-generation defense and aerospace technologies. Qorvo products are at the core of many of the world's most advanced radar, space, communications and electronic warfare (EW) systems. Innovations such as GaAs, GaN, SAW, BAW as well as integrated assembly, custom die-level packaging and expert engineering, help Qorvo to meet the world's mission-critical needs. In partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense, DARPA and Research Laboratories, and Qorvo's own R&D, we have engineered significant advantages in size, weight and power (SWaP) for our customers.
Qorvo offers strategic customers additional services including integrated assembly, test and packaging, all in our secure facilities. We call this world-class facility "AMMA" — short for Advanced Microwave Module Assembly.
Contact your local sales person for details about our convenient, in-house integrated assembly and packaging services.

In 2014 Qorvo was the first GaN RF chip manufacturer to achieve the U.S. Department of Defense’s MRL 9 – Manufacturing Readiness Level 9 – for its GaN technology. MRL 9 is the DoD’s second-highest level of production readiness and indicates that:
The DoD’s Manufacturing Readiness Assessment (MRA) ensures that manufacturing, production and quality assurance can meet operational mission needs for the U.S. military. This process ensures that the product or system transitions successfully from the factory to the field, providing the best value for the customer.
As an established GaN provider for domestic and international defense programs, Qorvo continues to provide record-setting GaN circuit reliability and compact, high efficiency products, paving the way for robust performance, low maintenance and long operational lifetimes.
Qorvo's patented Spatium® RF power combining technology provides a highly reliable, efficient alternative to traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs). It delivers a higher standard of efficiency, reliability and bandwidth as well as clear size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) advantages.
