Abstract :
Advanced satellite systems require high performance RF/Microwave active components including LNA´s, Downconverters, Local Oscillators, and Linearized Channel Amplifiers to name a few. Vital parameters such as size/mass, DC power consumption, linearity, noise figure, RF output power, and bandwidth are optimized to meet the demanding requirements and competitive advantages for space applications. This paper will describe the latest advances in RF/Microwave active front-end components that will enable these advanced systems.
