Design of T/R-module for the ultra-wide-band multi-function AESA

In this paper, the high performance, ultra-wide-band T/R-module, the core sub-system of multi-function AESA for modern military platforms which are required to meet electronic warfare, information warfare, communication, SAR, ISAR, and other radar requirements, has been developed. The T/R module operate over upper C, X, and Ku bands. The T/R module has noise figure of less than 5.1 dB and output power over 36 dBm. Use of LTCC, MMIC and ASIC reducing the overall size and weight.
