TLC Precision Wafer Technology Inc. Minneapolis MN has been building its operation for millimeter wave design, test and special component production since 1994. This includes several millimeter-wave technology transfers from Lockheed Martin and Honeywell International.

Recently, by combining their capabilities of module assembly with their special MMIC components, such as the TLC Ochip, the company has developed a simple W-band transmit and receive module that operates from 75 to 77 GHz.

TLC developed two versions, the transmit and single channel received transceiver and the multi-channel transceiver with up to three (3) receive channels. Both versions have wave-guide outputs for direct connection to an antenna of choice.

Presently the high precision ultra stable (0.1%) models use an external VCO. However TLC is rapidly enhancing the stability of the all MMIC transceivers.
