Abstract
This paper presents the concept and design of a highly integrated KA-band frontend module. In detail, the integration and packaging techniques, which combine the antenna, the RF circuitry and the cooling system within one functional block are discussed. It will be shown that these system concepts can be applied for large antenna arrays as needed to fulfil link budget requirements for the intended satellite communication.
