StratEdge LPA-Series Semiconductor Packages Take Center Stage at CS Mantech and Space Tech Expo USA
May 7, 2025 | StratEdgeEstimated reading time: 1 minute
StratEdge Corporation, leader in the design, production, and assembly of high-frequency and high-power semiconductor packages for RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave devices, will display its thermally efficient Leaded Power Amplifier (LPA) packages in Booth 805 at CS Mantech, taking place May 19–21 at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside, and in Booth 723 at Space Tech Expo USA, June 2–4 at the Long Beach Convention Center.
These packages play a crucial role in transmitting signals from commercial and government satellites and other long-range communications equipment. Engineered for compound semiconductor devices such as GaN and GaAs, the LPA-series provides ultra-low electrical loss from DC to beyond 31 GHz while efficiently pulling heat away from the die, ensuring maximum reliability in demanding RF and microwave systems.
"Our LPA-series gives designers a proven path to higher reliability and better signal integrity when the margins are extremely thin," said Casey Krawiec, VP of Sales at StratEdge. "Whether you're launching a payload into orbit or building a next-generation ground station, StratEdge packages provide the solid foundation compound semiconductor devices need to reach their full potential."
StratEdge designs and manufactures a complete line of high-frequency packages and offers a Class 1000 cleanroom, including automated gold-eutectic die attach, wedge and ball bonding, and hermetic sealing. Engineers attending either show are invited to meet with StratEdge technical staff to discuss solutions for their most challenging power and thermal requirements.

Below the Surface: Looking Ahead to Where Integration Actually Happens
04/20/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceProgress in RF rarely arrives and suddenly rewrites the rules. What actually moves performance forward almost always happens in the seams, the interfaces, the choices that determine whether individual parts are allowed to work together, or forced to fight one another. So, when we look ahead in RF systems—from DC through millimeter-wave—the most important conversations aren’t about isolated materials or heroic devices. They’re about integration, and more specifically, about how ceramic-based RF packages and module architectures shape system-level behavior long before the signal ever reaches free space.
Indium Showcases Solder Alloy Reliability Research for Heterogeneous Integration at ICEP-HBS
04/15/2026 | Indium CorporationIndium Corporation Senior Global Product Manager, Semiconductor and Advanced Materials, Sze Pei Lim will present a collaborative International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative (INEMI) project comparing SnBi and SAC305 solder alloys for first-level interconnects in complex heterogeneous packages.
Below the Surface: From Substrate to System—Why Integration Is the Real RF Breakthrough
03/17/2026 | Chandra Gupta -- Column: Below the SurfaceIn my last column, I described the ceramic substrate itself, and why material choice matters so deeply in RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave applications. Dielectric constant, loss tangent, thermal conductivity, stability across temperature, and frequency are the physical rules that govern whether a signal arrives intact or collapses into noise.
