What Guerrilla RF does
Guerrilla RF is a fabless semiconductor company founded in 2013 in Greensboro, North Carolina, that designs and sells high-performance Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFICs) and Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs) to wireless infrastructure and defense OEMs. The company's portfolio of over 125 catalog and custom offerings spans Low Noise Amplifiers (LNAs), gain blocks, linear drivers, linear and saturated power amplifiers (PAs), mixers, switches, RF power detectors, and Digital Step Attenuators (DSAs), covering DC to 18 GHz. Core process technologies include GaAs pHEMT, InGaP HBT, GaN-on-SiC HEMT (acquired from Gallium Semiconductor in April 2024), and Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI). The company has shipped more than 200 million devices into over 500 unique customer applications and holds US patents on its Guerrilla Armor high-isolation amplifier architecture. Products are qualified to AEC-Q100 for automotive, ISO 9001:2015 for quality, and EAR99 for export.
Guerrilla RF serves four primary verticals — 5G/wireless infrastructure, cellular boosters/DAS/automotive connectivity, military/defense/aerospace, and satellite communications — plus secondary verticals in RFID/ISM, wireless audio, and navigation. Named customers include Impinj (RAIN RFID), a leading EV manufacturer (~$580K purchase order), a leading Tier-1 automotive supplier (8 design wins representing 30M units/year peak volume), a Tier-1 satellite communications company, and a point-to-multipoint wireless infrastructure customer ($1.0M-$3.5M opportunity). The company distributes through Mouser Electronics (exclusive global), RFMW, Richardson RFPD, East Coast Microwave, and X-Microwave modular blocks, complemented by direct enterprise sales and applications engineering support. Differentiating tools include Guerrilla Search (parametric amplifier search) and Guerrilla Replace (competitor EOL drop-in mapping).
The company generates the vast majority of revenue from hardware sales of RFIC/MMIC components, with a smaller but growing royalty revenue stream ($226K in Q2 2022, +72.3% YoY). Pricing is quote-based, unit-priced by reel quantities (1,500 or 2,500 units) with volume discounts negotiated through the sales team. Guerrilla RF went public via a reverse merger in October 2021 and trades on OTCQX under ticker GUER; it has raised over $50M in cumulative equity and grant funding since inception, including a $22M private placement in August 2024. TTM revenue stands at approximately $20.1M (FY2024), with FY2025 revenue approaching $22.7M, Q1 2026 revenue of $6.5M (+48% YoY), 69.9% gross margin, and the company achieved full-year operating profitability and positive operating cash flow in Q4 2025.
