About XMA Corporation
XMA Corporation was founded in 2003 by Bruce Cooper and Fred Goodrich in Manchester, New Hampshire, to advance passive RF technology. In 2008 the company acquired Omni Spectra's connectorized attenuator and termination product lines, folding the legacy Omni Spectra brand into its portfolio, and it maintains AS9100 certification for its manufacturing and new-product-introduction processes. In 2023 XMA was acquired by Amphenol, the global interconnect, sensor, and antenna manufacturer, broadening Amphenol's RF component capabilities while XMA continues to operate its Manchester design and manufacturing site.
XMA designs and manufactures passive microwave and RF components, including attenuators, terminations, adapters, power dividers, DC blocks, fixed equalizers, and directional couplers, serving military, aerospace, satellite, telecommunications, test and measurement, and quantum computing customers. The company's product lines include TVAC-rated, radiation-tolerant, and cryogenic-qualified variants engineered for the thermal and vacuum extremes of spacecraft and cryostat environments.
Since its first product flew to orbit in 2011, XMA's space-qualified passive RF hardware has supported commercial, military, and deep-space scientific missions, providing signal attenuation, impedance matching, and interconnect components for satellite payloads, ground terminals, and test equipment. XMA also supplies cryogenic passive components used in quantum computing systems, where low-loss, high-density RF interconnects help reduce qubit decoherence.
