Abstract :
US Monolithics has developed an innovative Ka-band SATCOM transceiver and companion high power amplifier for commercial broadband systems that is directly applicable for future Ka-band mobile military SATCOM systems. The baseline design has already been developed, demonstrated and low cost commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) prototypes have been delivered for terminal level integration. Although a wide variety of missions and data rates dictate various power levels and environmental requirements, the modular approach and rugged construction allows for easy adaptation of this technology to support the mobile SATCOM military mission.
