United Monolithic Semiconductors (UMS) will participate in IMS 2026, the international RF and microwave industry event scheduled to take place in June in Washington, D.C. The company is marking its 30th anniversary this year and plans to present new product demonstrations, technical sessions, and a dedicated foundry training program during the exhibition.
UMS will exhibit at Booth #17075, where it plans to showcase developments across its RF product portfolio, including updates related to its GH10-10 technology platform. According to the company, the GH10-10 platform is designed for high-frequency and high-efficiency applications in sectors such as defense, space, telecom, satellite communications, and millimeter-wave markets.
The company stated that visitors to the booth will be able to discuss RF technology applications and product developments with technical specialists. UMS is also offering pre-booked meetings through a dedicated online request form for attendees interested in speaking directly with its engineering and business teams.
As part of the IMS 2026 technical program, UMS representatives are scheduled to participate in two conference sessions. On June 9 from 13:50 to 14:10, Samira Bouzid-Driad will present a paper titled “GH10-10 Nonlinear Thermal Model Capability & 3W SatComHPA.” The presentation will examine the thermal behavior of 0.1-µm GaN HEMT technology and discuss nonlinear electrical modeling approaches intended to improve MMIC circuit design accuracy. The paper will also review temperature-related technology performance and MMIC high-power amplifier demonstrations up to V-Band frequencies. Additional authors include Frederic Drillet, Christophe Chang, Manfred Madel, Kimon Vivien, Laurent Brunel, Romain Pecheux, Herve Blanck, and Valeria Di Giacomo-Brunel.
On June 11 from 12:00 to 13:30, Valeria Di Giacomo Brunel will participate in a panel discussion during the Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits Technical Forum (RFTT) titled “Will ML/AI really change our approach to device modelling and circuit design?” The panel will focus on the increasing role of artificial intelligence and machine learning in microwave circuit design, including applications in device modeling, data generation, EDA tools, layout automation, and optimization workflows. Other panelists include David Danzilio, Alexander Petr, Giorgia Zucchelli, Eduard Heidebrecht, and Kaushik Sengupta.
In addition to its conference participation, UMS will host a three-hour Foundry Training Session on Monday, June 8, from 14:00 to 17:00 at the Renaissance Hotel’s Atlantic Meeting Room. The session is intended for engineers, researchers, and project managers seeking information about the company’s GaAs and GaN technologies, process design kits (PDKs), and RF/mmWave design workflows. Attendance is free, although seating is limited.
The training program will include presentations from UMS, Cadence Design Systems, and Keysight Technologies. Topics are expected to include the UMS foundry flow, GaN and GaAs RF processes, device modeling methods, ADS and AWR design environments using UMS PDKs, product testing and packaging, and a virtual cleanroom tour.
UMS also noted that some of its latest technologies and products will be demonstrated at the booth of Richardson RFPD, located at Booth #12070 during the event.
To commemorate its 30-year milestone, the company plans to host a Happy Hour event for IMS attendees on Tuesday, June 9, starting at 17:00 at Booth #17075. According to UMS, the gathering is intended to provide an informal setting for discussions with partners, customers, and industry participants while reflecting on three decades of company activity and technological development.
