A Low-Profile 36-Element K-Band Active Phased Array for Ultra-Small Aperture Application

A Low-Profile 36-Element K-Band Active Phased Array for Ultra-Small Aperture Application

This paper presents a 36-element low-profile half-duplex K-band T/R phased array as a solution for the platform with limited aperture and space for the phased array. With the solution of micro-assembly presented in this paper, the height of the array is only 12.3 mm. To improve the phased array'...
