Terahertz & Millimetre-Wave — Product Map
40 companies across the microwave-to-terahertz spectrum, mapped by what they actually build. Each is also scored for relevance to the Next Step Fusion MDP concept (Modular Diagnostics Platform) — filter by MDP role or fit, and open any company for its 5-axis breakdown. Click any company for its full product portfolio; use the filters to slice by band, application, region or MDP fit.
Derived from 40 internal company intelligence reports (June 2026). Companies appear under every product category in which they have offerings, so most appear multiple times — this reflects portfolio breadth, not double-counting. Frequency bands and applications are approximate, based on stated ranges and primary markets. Distributors/resellers (e.g. SEMIC RF) and divisions of larger groups (e.g. Kratos General Microwave) are flagged in their detail panels. Company-profile fields are best-effort estimates from the same reports: revenue and headcount are frequently undisclosed and shown as ranges or "n/d"; "incumbent" (★) denotes a large and/or long-established market leader, versus challengers, niche SMEs and startups; "externally funded" means anything other than purely self-funded / family-owned — i.e. venture capital, public markets, corporate / M&A ownership, or government grants.
MDP relevance. Each company is scored 0–100 for proximity to Next Step Fusion's Modular Diagnostics Platform — a standardised, hot-swappable microwave plasma-diagnostics platform (reflectometry, interferometry, ECE, collective Thomson scattering). The score is five axes rated 0–5, summed and ×4: technique overlap , frequency fit (~30 GHz–1 THz), fusion heritage , component relevance (front-end parts) and harsh-environment (rad-hard / space / cryogenic). Roles: peer builds the diagnostic itself · partner = key subsystem + fusion pedigree · supplier = component vendor · adjacent = related tech, different application. 26 scores are carried over from the MDP proximity analysis; the other 14 (incl. VDI, GYCOM, Marki, Mini-Circuits, Hiden and the newer additions) are fresh estimates on the same rubric. Scores are analyst judgement for prioritisation, not absolute rankings.
