  • Abstract
    An analog Beam Forming Network Assembly that is part of a Receiving Phased Array Antenna for the European Data Relay Payload is described. In such Beam Forming Network, the electronic steering is achieved by means of fully integrated Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Phase Shifters. A detailed description of the assembly design is given in the paper and experimental results are discussed.
