技術簡介:
- Power-efficient, high performance RF chips on silicon CMOS including beamformer (BF), power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (LNA), frequency converter and controller chip for AESA system
'- Separate sets for different frequencies: Ku-band, Ka-band, and higher frequency bands
'- Modular CMOS RF blocks allow mix-and-match, reuse, and integration (BF+PA, LNA+PA, etc.)
產業應用性:
AESA controls phase and amplitude of individual component in an antenna phase array electronically, eliminating need for mechanical parts and extremely fast response time (<100nS). Beamformers and RF front end ICs are the most important components in an AESA. AESA can be used in LEO communication system (UT & satellite), and also for radars.
