KTD Electronics

KTD Electronics (Xiamen Keta Electronics Co., Ltd.), founded in May 2014 by Jianqin Wang, operates as a fabless integrated circuit (IC) design enterprise based in Xiamen, China. The company was established by high-level talent returning from overseas, bringing extensive experience from prominent IC companies in Japan and China. This seasoned team focuses on the design and development of microwave radio frequency (RF) analog integrated chips (RFIC/MMIC) for a specialized, high-growth market.

The business model is centered on a fabless approach, meaning KTD handles the in-house design and development of its proprietary chips and then outsources the manufacturing and packaging processes. Sales and market expansion are managed through a combination of direct efforts and sales agents. The company's revenue is generated through the sale of these specialized IC products. KTD's core market encompasses applications for satellite communications, satellite television, satellite navigation, satellite internet, and remote sensing. In February 2022, the company completed a financing round, securing 30 million RMB in capital to fuel further growth and development.

KTD Electronics has developed a range of products that serve to enhance performance and reduce costs for its clients, who are primarily manufacturers in the satellite equipment industry. One of its key product lines, the KTD105X series, is designed for Ku-band satellite receiving LNBs (Low-Noise Block downconverters), which simplifies the design and improves production yield for LNB manufacturers. Another product, the ktd200X series, provides high-precision front-end phase and amplitude modulation for phased-array antennas, serving as a domestic alternative to imported components. The company also produces GaAs low-noise amplifiers (KTD35X LNA series) and power amplifiers (KTD55X PA series) for millimeter-wave modules. The company has received multiple invention and utility model patents and was recognized as a National High-Tech Enterprise in December 2017.
