A LTCC-Based Ku-Band 8-Channel T/R Module Integrated with Drive Amplification and 7-Bit True-Time-Delay

Ku-band drive amplification and a 7-bit true-time-delay (TTD) function were realized as a part of a LTCC-based T/R module to increase integration. The 8-channel T/R module was fabricated and its key characteristics were measured, including a 3-bit (1/2/4 λ) TTD, 4-bit (0.25/0.5/1/2 λ) TTD, receive g...

description Ku-band drive amplification and a 7-bit true-time-delay (TTD) function were realized as a part of a LTCC-based T/R module to increase integration. The 8-channel T/R module was fabricated and its key characteristics were measured, including a 3-bit (1/2/4 λ) TTD, 4-bit (0.25/0.5/1/2 λ) TTD, receive gain, noise figure and output power. The 8-channel T/R module can be further adopted to increase bandwidth and scanning angle of phased arrays without beam squint.
