TUSK IC is a fabless mmWave IC company delivering chips and modules for Ka-band satellite communications.

SatCom meets CMOS

Since 2018, TUSK IC has led the introduction of proven and highly cost-effective mmWave CMOS technology across a range of industries and applications. From custom chip solutions to volume-manufactured IC designs, TUSK is recognized for modular, easily integrated solutions, designed for extremely high reliability and operation in harsh environments. 

Leveraging our extensive experience in developing RF chips 
for the automotive and industrial segments, we have recently introduced an innovative new series of chips and modules to lower the barrier for commercial development of cost-effective flat panel antennas for satellite communications.

Why TUSK IC?

Democratizing satcom antenna development

Satellite communications are evolving rapidly toward LEO and MEO constellations—but adoption is held back by the need for reliable, affordable flat-panel antennas.

Leveraging our advanced mmWave technology and agile design capabilities, we’ve developed a new series of high-performance, lower-cost Ka-band chips and antenna modules. From the TUSK-BC1203 and BC2203 Beamformer ICs to our modular ConnecTile antenna elements, these scalable building blocks enable next-generation Satcom systems at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Supported by ESA’s Nebula program, our proven technology simplifies integration and testing, making flat-panel antenna development faster, easier, and more accessible than ever.
