  • Abstract
    Summary form only given, as follows. For the first time, a transmit-receive (TR), 64-element phased array driven by Silicon Germanium (SiGe) integrated circuits and implemented on organic substrates is demonstrated at 9.5GHz. The array was built on a Duroid/liquid crystal polymer substrate stack-up. In addition, micro-electromechanical switches allow a toggled TR operation. Measurements showed an average TR bandwidth of 2.55 GHz, a TR beam-steering range of ±26°, a receive gain of 27.28 dB and an estimated output power of 41.33 dBm.
