Abstract
The concept of advanced phased array antennas, based on the combination of a large number of active elements, is critically
dependant on the availability of compact and minimum weight, low consumption and high-reliability microwave T/R
modules. The main guideline for the design is to achieve the best trade-off between performance, reliability and
manufacturing cost.
THOMSON-CSF is leading phased array developments with T/R modules in S, C, X bands and also wideband for airborne,
space and ground-based radars. Examples will be given.
The technological trends will be discussed, as following:
Electrical architecture of the T/R module.
Performance in relation with the GaAs processes: MESFET, pHEMT or HBT.
Packaging in relation with the level of hermeticity :
. micro or macropackages,
. ceramic or printed circuit multilayer,
. silicon substrates,
. robotic manufacturing.
- Tests duration and number reduction..
Some different possible designs of T/R module for the future will be discussed.
