Abstract :
A phased array multi-chip module has been developed that supports four, individually-controllable radiating elements with integral five-bit phase shifters and power amplifiers at 20 GHz. LTCC technology has been demonstrated as a valuable substrate/package material, enabling low loss, multi-layer topologies to aid the microwave circuit/package designer in creating unique solutions in three dimensions.
