  • Abstract
    This paper presents the design and verification of an S-band receiver module for a 2D AESA array. The design includes an S-band chipset and a compact LTCC module using a tile architecture. Even if the primary goal was a system demonstrator, great emphasis was put in achieving a low cost and high manufacturability module concept. The methodology and concept was proved by successful production and fully testing of 120 modules within two weeks.
