Abstract :
Wideband phased-array front-end technology is characterised by stringent specifications, increasing cost-pressure and is subject to fundamental changes. This paper addresses trends observed for these systems, both in relation to the functionality required (including the architecture of the system and the platforms upon which they are applied) as well as in relation to the technologies that may be employed.
