MPP has a strong track record as a component supplier for commercial and military communications applications.
Applications
Satellite Communications:
MPP is a leading producer of high-power microwave/RF devices for satellite uplink ground stations and terminals. The company sells most of these products into the satellite communications (satcom) market. The company has a strong presence in both the commercial and military sectors. MPP provides a wide selection of TWTs and klystrons, for satellite communications applications. MPP’s satcom products, including high power BUCs and LNAs/LNBs, are sold primarily into direct-to-home (DTH), military satellite communications, broadcasting, voice/data, maritime and offshore energy applications.
Terrestrial Broadcast Communications:
MPP serves the AM, FM, shortwave radio, and VHF and UHF television broadcast market with high-quality, reliable and efficient high-power microwave/RF devices. Through the years, MPP has established a customer base of several thousand customers in the broadcast market for new and rebuilt high-power power grid devices for terrestrial broadcast communications.
Over-the-horizon Communications:
The over-the-horizon communications market involves over-the-horizon, microwave-based communication systems. MPP supports these programs with klystrons and TWTs. These systems transmit voice, video and data signals for several hundred miles by bouncing the signals off the troposphere, the lowest atmospheric layer, approximately six miles above the Earth’s surface. Since no satellite is required, these systems can provide an easy-to-install, relocatable and cost-efficient alternative to satellite-based communications.
