X-band Core Chip SiGe design for Phased Array T/R Modules

10GHz SiGe design for phase and amplitude management of signal

This paper presents a core chip design in SiGe Heterojunction Bipolar Transistor base for X-band phased array Transmit/Receive (T/R) module. Usually phase shifters for X-band application were done by using of GaAs technique. Some commercial GaAs products for this type of integrate circuits are considered. The structure of the Core Chip for Phased Array T/R Modules is presented. Methods for the ...

HIGH SPEED SIGE MMICS FOR PHASED ARRAY COMMUNICATIONS By

by Pinping Sun, Ph.D. Washington State University August 2008 Chair: High speed SiGe MMICS for phased array communications has been widely used in satellite communications. This dissertation presents the development of reconfigurable SiGe MMICs for upper X-band or lower Ku band satellite phased array communications. Novel high-isolation, low-insertion-loss and highly linear octagonal PIN diode ...

Photonic Crystal Fiber Array for True-Time-Delay Structured X-band Phased Array Antenna Systems

Tunable optical true-time-delay modules based on highly dispersive photonic crystal fibers were demonstrated to provide continuous radio frequency squint-free beam scanning for X-band phased array antenna systems. © 2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2310) Fiber Optics; (280.5110) Phased-Array Radar

Miniaturized Phase-Shifters for Ka-Band Phased Array Antennas

Realizing robust and stable two-way links between the mobile users and the satellite is an extremely challenging RF/Microwave engineering problem. Low cost and low pro le phased array is considered as the best solution for this problem. High performance low cost and miniaturized variable phase shifter is a key enabling technology for such complex smart phased array antenna system. This thesis a...
