About QuinStar: What We Do

QuinStar products include standard catalog components; specialized high-performance active and passive components; and fully integrated and customized assemblies and subsystems. Further, QuinStar customers span the globe. Our RF and MMW experience includes working with all major research institutes, high-reliability spaceflight payloads, and volume production of defense hardware.

Growing Our Capacity

Most recently, QuinStar began an expansion and facility upgrade. The expansion aligns our operations with our Vision. Altogether, QuinStar’s facilities now total 65,000 sq. ft. of work space spanning two buildings. In the meantime, to enhance our technical capacity, we have been significantly upgrading our near-field antenna range, environmental test facility, and machining capabilities. As an illustration, our latest equipment upgrades include two wafer-probe stations and an automated inspection microscope. One wafer-probe station tests MMICs over the frequency range of 7 KHz to 145 GHz in one sweep. The second wafer-probe station has a temperature-controlled chuck, which allows us to make chip-level power measurements at V/W-band frequencies. The automated inspection microscope with CMM enables 3D measurement on complex geometrics. QuinStar’s commitment to ongoing upgrades supports our pursuit of engineering SMART millimeter-wave and RF solutions.

Conclusion

In summary, QuinStar is a company rich with proven MMW experience. We continue to strengthen our Core Values to advance our Mission and Vision, while strategically adding breadth and depth to our expertise and onsite capabilities.
