    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a low-noise wideband active phase shifter. The low-noise wideband active phase shifter includes first and second transconductance cells, a fixed LC series network and a tunable LC series network configured to form an all-pass lattice network. The first and second transconductance cells, each include a transistor, a feedback network, and a transistor biasing network. The transistor has an input terminal and an output terminal. The negative feedback network electrically couples the input and output terminals of the transistor. The biasing network provides input and output biasing of the transistor. The fixed LC series network connects between the first and the second transconductance cells. The tunable LC series network connects between the first and the second transconductance cells.

    Abstract: A modular high-power converter system includes an electronic power distribution unit configured to output an analog current (AC) voltage to a power bus, and at least one Transmit or Receive Integrated Microwave Module (T/RIMM) that includes a voltage converter unit and a transmitter and receiver (T/R) unit. The voltage converter unit includes at least one analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert the AC voltage into a direct current (DC) voltage having a first DC voltage level. The transmitter and receiver (T/R) unit includes a modular-based DC/DC converter to convert the DC voltage into a second DC voltage having a second voltage. The modular-based DC/DC converter includes a modular power converter unit configured to generate the second DC voltage. The modular converter unit is configured to be independently interchangeable with a different modular converter unit.
