Guerrilla RF Announces Entry into the Satellite Communications Industry
January 18, 2023 | Business WireEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Guerrilla RF, Inc., the innovative fabless semiconductor company announced its entry into the rapidly growing satellite communications (SATCOM) industry.
According to Fortune Business Insights, the global SATCOM industry will grow from $29.98 billion in 2022 to $56.74 billion by 2029, a 9.54% compounded annual growth rate. Market growth will be driven by mobile applications and “Internet of Things” integration in a wide range of industries including agriculture, asset tracking, aviation, defense, energy, navigation, and weather monitoring.
Growth in satellite communications has also brought complex engineering challenges. With the move to smaller satellites in low Earth orbits, satellite components need to be compact and capable of higher operating frequencies along with complex modulation schemes — all while still ensuring robust signal fidelity in extreme temperature, radiation, and interference conditions.
Ryan Pratt, CEO and founder of Guerrilla RF commented, “We have always sought to meet the growing demand for connectivity by solving complex engineering challenges and producing high-performance semiconductors in the 5G, automotive, and cellular booster industries. Our approach to solving the unique application challenges of customers combined with a catalog of high-performance parts is what differentiates us from our competition and will allow us to take share in the rapidly growing SATCOM industry.”

Elementary Mr. Watson: Retro Routers vs. Modern Boards—The Silent Struggle on Your Screen
06/26/2025 | John Watson -- Column: Elementary, Mr. WatsonThere's a story about a young woman preparing a holiday ham. Before putting it in the pan, she cuts off the ends. When asked why, she shrugs and says, "That's how my mom always did it." She asks her mother, who gives the same answer. Eventually, the question reaches Grandma, who laughs and says, "Oh, I only cut the ends off because my pan was too small." This story is a powerful analogy for how many PCB designers approach routing today.

Defining the Ideal PCB Design Data Output
05/27/2025 | Stephen V. Chavez, Siemens EDAAt the heart of delivering successful, manufacturable printed circuit boards lies a vital question: What should your design data output package include to best support manufacturing? The answer: It depends. There are many factors to consider regarding the specific category you’re designing for—such as mil/aero, space, medical, and commercial. Other factors that need to be considered are requirements and engineering intent.
