amplifonixAmplifonix, Inc. manufactured hybrid, bi-polar, and GaAs FET power amplifiers; PIN Diode and GaAs FET switches; and voltage controlled oscillators. It also offers various detectors, linearizers, and attenuators. The company specializes in low noise and low phase noise amplifiers from 100 kHz to 4000 MHz. Amplifonix, Inc. was acquired by Spectrum Microwave, Inc in 2005.

Amplifonix was a company specializing in audio amplification solutions. They provide a range of products and services related to amplification technology, catering to various industries such as entertainment, broadcasting, telecommunications, and consumer electronics. Amplifonix's products are often sought after for their reliability, innovation, and ability to deliver high-quality sound reproduction.

Spectrum Microwave, Inc. manufactures RF and microwave components and systems. Spectrum Microwave offers amplifiers, such as high power, high linearity, low phase noise, low cost, filtered GPS LNAs, and automatic gain controlled amplifiers; microwave filters, including bandpass, lowpass, highpass, band reject, diplexers, triplexers, and multiplexers; and RF components, which include active and passive components, as well as antennas and assemblies. The company also provides frequency sources, such as phase locked, dielectric resonator, coaxial resonator, surface acoustic wave (SAW), voltage controlled, digitally tuned, frequency multiplier, and master reference oscillators; and integrated microwave assemblies and system solutions. In addition, Spectrum Microwave manufactures microwave components, including mixers, switches, SAW and BAW products, diplexers, multiplexers, rotary joints, phase shifters, and couplers. Spectrum Microwave, Inc. was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Palm Bay, Florida. Spectrum Microwave has locations in Auburn, New York; Columbia, Maryland; Delmar, Delaware; Marlborough, Massachusetts; Nashua, New Hampshire; Palm Bay, Florida; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
