Ku-Band MMIC's for Space-Borne Active Antenna

A full set of Ku-Band monolithic integrated circuits designed for a spatial telecommunication active antenna is presented. Low Noise Amplifier, Medium Level Amplifier, Mixer, Attenuator and Digital Phase-Shifter are detailed and the measured results are discussed. This is completed with the design and simulation of Digital and Analog Phase-Shifter whose processing is in progress.
