To offer an attractive solution for phased array systems, the chipset has been integrated in a small form factor hermetically sealed metal package with plug and play features. The package design has been carried out in-house and reflects a System in Package (SiP) approach suited for high volume production. The integrated control component offers typically 9dB of insertion loss, a RMS phase error of 1.5 deg and a RMS attenuation error of 0.1 dB. The module features a high isolation of 55 dB between transmit and receive ports. The developed control module has been tested successfully in beam forming systems. The design of the constituent MMICs are presented in the initial sections followed by the description of the SiP module and the performance of the integrated entity.","PeriodicalId":397229,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Applied Electromagnetics Conference (AEMC)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129237266","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 line source is transformed into an infinite periodic array of linearly phased dipole in the spectral domain. The scattered fields including near fields and far-zone fields are exactly expressed by an infinite integral. The far-zone fields can be approached by a method of steepest descent without performing this integration.
