MIDAS Wideband mmW Digital Tile

Raytheon Technologies teamed with Michigan State University and Teledyne Scientific present a zero-IF, mixed-signal, 32-channel millimeter-wave CMOS transceiver design developed under the DARPA/MTO MIDAS program. The architectural choices, design overview, and measured results from two generations of ASIC development are presented. As part of the MIDAS 3D T/R module, element-level digital beamforming provided by this ASIC will allow multiple simultaneous beams over a wide field of regard.
