The key point is the microwave unit cells which provide power division, and amplitude and phase control. These cells feature iteratively matched complex impedance and interlocked dual and quadruple cold FET circuit topologies resulting very high integration density as well as almost zero dc-power dissipation. Based on the novel design concept, an entire beam forming network for exciting a 64-element phased aray is successfully integrated on a single GaAs monolithic chip. It consists of a 64-way pyramidal power divider, 64 360-degree variable phase shifters, and 64 phase-inversible amplitude controllers. This hyper-scale MMIC will drastically advance the development of multiple beam forming and adaptive steering systems for satellite onboard phased array transponders.","PeriodicalId":219101,"journal":{"name":"1996 26th European Microwave Conference","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128235613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For the analysis of a single element, the leading, frequency independent singular terms of the Green function are extracted and the part of impedance matrix associated to them is evaluated in space domain. The eigenfunctions of these terms are then used for expanding the regular part; they are entire-domain functions, defined for an arbitrary geometry, and incorporate the correct edge behavior: therefore only a reduced number of them is necessary to well represent the solution. For the application to arrays, the effort needed for the evaluation of the coupling integrals between two arbitrary functions on separated domains is reduced via a spectral domain formulation, with numerical integration along a path of rapid convergence. Application examples and validations are presented.","PeriodicalId":219101,"journal":{"name":"1996 26th European Microwave Conference","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128789223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effect of the building database accuracy is also shown. The need for a more precise propagation model appears, and the first results from a 3D deterministic model based on the Uniform Theory of Diffraction are presented. The validity of the approximation in the calculation of the diffraction coefficients and the effect of the slope diffraction are investigated, and results of measurements of material parameter measurements necessary for the model are presented.
