摘要： A phased array system has a plurality of beam-forming elements, and a plurality of beam-forming integrated circuits in communication with the beam-forming elements. Each beam-forming integrated circuit has a corresponding register bank with a plurality of addressable and programmable register sets. In addition, each beam-forming integrated circuit has at least two different types of beam-forming ports. Specifically, each beam-forming element has a serial data port for receiving serial messages, and a parallel mode data port for receiving broadcast messages. Both the serial and broadcast messages manage the data in its register bank. The beam-forming integrated circuits receive the broadcast messages in parallel with the other beam-forming integrated circuits, while the beam-forming integrated circuits receive the serial messages serially—sequentially with regard to other beam-forming integrated circuits.

摘要： A laminar phased array has a first sub-array configured to operate in one of a receive mode with a first polarity and a transmit mode with a second polarity, and a second sub-array configured to operate in one of a receive mode with the second polarity and a transmit mode with the first polarity. The first polarity is physically orthogonal to the second polarity. The array also has a controller configured to control the first and second sub-arrays so that they operate together in either 1) a receive mode or 2) a transit mode. Accordingly, both sub-arrays are configured to operate at the same time to receive signals in the first and second polarities when in the receive mode. In a corresponding manner, both sub-arrays are configured to operate at the same time to transmit signals in the first and second polarities when in the transmit mode.

摘要： A phased array has a laminar substrate, a plurality of elements on the laminar substrate forming a patch phased array, and integrated circuits on the laminar substrate. Each integrated circuit is a high frequency integrated circuit configured to control receipt and/or transmission of signals by the plurality of elements in the patch phased array. In addition, each integrated circuit has a substrate side coupled with the laminar substrate, and a back side. The phased array also has a plurality of heat sinks. Each integrated circuit is coupled with at least one of the heat sinks. At least one of the integrated circuits has a thermal interface material in conductive thermal contact with its back side. The thermal interface material thus is between the at least one integrated circuit and one of the heat sinks. Preferably, the thermal interface material has a magnetic loss tangent value of between 0.5 and 4.5.

摘要： In certain exemplary embodiments, register banks are used to allow for fast beam switching (FBS) in a phased array system. Specifically, each beam forming channel is associated with a register bank containing M register sets for configuring such things as gain/amplitude and phase parameters of the beam forming channel. The register banks for all beam forming channels can be pre-programmed and then fast beam switching circuitry allows all beam forming channels across the array to be switched to use the same register set from its corresponding register bank at substantially the same time, thereby allowing the phased array system to be quickly switched between various beam patterns and orientations. Additionally or alternatively, active power control circuitry may be used to control the amount of electrical power provided to or consumed by one or more individual beam forming channels such as to reduce DC power consumption of the array and/or to selectively change the effective directivity of the array.

摘要： A beamforming integrated circuit system for use in a phased array has a microchip with RF circuitry, a bottom surface, and a plurality of interfaces electrically connected with the RF circuitry. The plurality of interfaces includes a plurality of static interfaces and a plurality of RF interfaces. The plurality of static interfaces are on the bottom surface of the microchip and adjacent to each other. The plurality of RF interfaces are also on the bottom surface of the microchip, but radially outward of the plurality of static interfaces. The microchip is configured to be flip chip mounted.

摘要： A beamforming integrated circuit has a single channel with a transmit chain and a receive chain. The transmit chain is configured to transmit an output signal and, in a corresponding manner, the receive chain is configured to receive an input signal. The integrated circuit also has separate horizontal and vertical polarity ports, and a double pole, double throw switch operably coupled between the chains and the ports. The double pole, double throw switch is configured to switch between operation in a first mode and a second mode.

摘要： A phased array includes a laminar substrate having both 1) a plurality of elements forming a patch phased array, and 2) a plurality of integrated circuits. Each integrated circuit is configured to control receipt and transmission of signals by the plurality of elements in the patch phased array. The integrated circuits also are configured to operate the phased array at one or more satellite frequencies—to transmit signals to and/or receive signals from a satellite. Each integrated circuit physically couples with one corresponding element so that incoming signals are received by the corresponding element in a first polarization, and outgoing signals are transmitted by the corresponding element in a second polarization. The phased array isolates the transmit signals from the receive signals by orienting the first and second polarizations differently.
