Abstract :
This paper describes current activities and progress toward developing microwave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs) and multi-chip module assemblies, that will result in the availability of active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) which achieve required performance characteristics at substantially reduced costs. The paper contains discussions of MMIC cost and development factors, module cost and development considerations, and overall array cost and development considerations
