Contact Us Manufacturing Plus Quality Equals Reliability Manufacturing Operations The manufacturing operations at CTT are highly integrated into all facets of the production build. CTT maintains manufacturing operations within its San Jose, California headquarters. These offices are staffed with engineering and materials support personnel that manage the day-today activities. Having built thousands of products with power levels that range from a few watts to 1 kW, CTT has become a leader in solid-state microwave amplification. CTT’s U.S.-based manufacturing facility offers a complete solution in the production of microwave integrated circuits. Moreover, CTT’s facility was specifically designed to accommodate the unique requirements of hybrid microwave integrated circuit manufacturing conforming to MIL-PRF-38534. Another important factor differentiating the CTT facility from other manufacturers is the availability of comprehensive microwave frequency test capabilities. This offers the customer to choose from either “standard” testing procedures or to customize testing to meet stringent system requirements. CTT’s microwave testing utilizes the latest in network analysis tools. One of the primary strengths of CTT’s integrated circuit manufacturing is the ability to mix and match technologies to best meet the requirements of a particular application. Commitment CTT is committed to provide the highest level of reliability in its products. This is demonstrated by the extremely low number of repairs that the company receives. Every product that CTT delivers strictly adheres to active de-rating criteria, thermal design consideration and proven manufacturing techniques established by CTT’s engineering and quality departments as well as those required by it’s suppliers. During development phase, manufacturing operations perform product planning that includes design verification, supplier selection, manpower analysis, equipment needs and master scheduling. Once a product is committed to the production department, production control monitors material suppliers and work-inprocess to ensure that any issues effecting the delivery commitments are addressed and corrected immediately. Automation is used extensively all through the manufacturing process wherever possible. Quailty CTT is committed to the concept that quality must be designed in and not inspected into the product. The quality engineers review all designs for compliance to CTT’s quality and workmanship standards and assist design engineering in the selection of suppliers and components. Inspection points throughout the manufacturing process are maintained and deviations analyzed and controlled through TQM and SPC programs to ensure a consistent manufacturing process. To assure the highest level of reliability, CTT has implemented its own screening program derived from MIL-PRF-38534. Custom screening procedures are available on special request. CTT’s quality and process control systems are approved to AS9100 / ISO 9001 and JSTDs. Test and measurement equipment is calibrated in accordance with MIL-STD-45662 and ANZI-Z-540. CTT is an AS9100 / ISO 9001 Registered company and has received numerous supplier excellence awards for quality and performance.
