What G.T. Microwave does
G.T. Microwave, Inc. is a privately held, veteran-owned small business founded in 1995 and headquartered in Randolph (also listed at Roxbury Township), New Jersey, that designs and manufactures microwave integrated components for ground, shipboard, airborne, and space-based applications. Its core technology centers on PIN diode and Varactor diode integration with passive circuitry and TTL-compatible digital logic, enabling analog, voltage/current-controlled, linearized, and digitally controlled programmable microwave components operating from 20 MHz to 40 GHz. The catalog spans attenuators (current, voltage, digital switched pad, digitally controlled phase-invariant), I&Q vector modulators with up to 60 dB dynamic range and 360° phase control, analog and digital phase shifters, frequency translators with >25 dB carrier and 20 dB sideband suppression, PIN diode switches from SP1T through SP16T plus DPDT, BPSK/QPSK modulators, and custom devices and sub-assemblies including military ECM sub-assemblies such as the SA-69-BD Universal Coherent Modulator.
The company sells through a direct enterprise quote-request funnel on its website, supplemented by an international authorized representative network covering Africa, Asia (China, India, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Asian Rim), Western and Eastern Europe (including the Baltic region, Greece, Israel), and South America. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; products are sold as both catalog items and fully custom-engineered solutions. G.T.

G.T. Microwave competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Qorvo: Major RF semiconductor and component vendor serving defense EW, radar, and commercial wireless markets. Competes indirectly via integrated RFICs where G.T. Microwave's discrete-component approach faces substitution.
- Analog Devices: Diversified analog and RF/microwave IC supplier with a substantial defense and aerospace business. Provides highly integrated MMIC and RFIC alternatives to discrete-component architectures like G.T. Microwave's.
- Crane Aerospace & Electronics (Crane Co.): Supplies RF/microwave components, subsystems, and electronic warfare solutions to defense primes. Overlaps with G.T. Microwave's defense end-market and sub-assembly business at a much larger scale.
- MACOM Technology Solutions: Large supplier of RF, microwave, millimeterwave, and photonic semiconductors and components for defense, aerospace, and telecom. Overlaps with G.T. Microwave across switches, attenuators, and integrated sub-assemblies but at vastly greater scale and semiconductor-level integration.
Direct peers
- Pasternack (Infinite Electronics): Broad catalog supplier of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components and assemblies serving defense, aerospace, and commercial customers. Comparable catalog-plus-custom approach though at significantly larger scale.
- Mini-Circuits: Designs and manufactures a broad catalog of RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave components (attenuators, switches, phase shifters, mixers) serving commercial, industrial, and defense markets. Closest direct competitor to G.T. Microwave in product breadth and catalog-plus-custom model.
- Marki Microwave: Designs and manufactures high-performance RF and microwave signal chain components including mixers, couplers, filters, and frequency multipliers used in defense, test & measurement, and satcom. Comparable in product class and frequency range, with similar mix of catalog and custom.
- Herotek: Manufacturer of PIN diode switches, detectors, limiters, and microwave control components for military EW, radar, and commercial RF. Direct overlap with G.T. Microwave's PIN diode switch and detector product lines.
- Pulsar Microwave: Small specialty manufacturer of RF and microwave components (attenuators, switches, limiters, detectors, integrated assemblies) for defense and aerospace. Closely comparable in scale, product mix, and customer profile.
- Planar Monolithics Industries (PMI): Specialty manufacturer of RF and microwave components and sub-assemblies for military EW, radar, and space applications. A direct peer given overlapping product categories (switches, attenuators, phase shifters, frequency converters) and similar defense prime customer base.
