Complex Problems, Simple Solution; the Latest Generation of Beamforms from ADI
Analog Devices has developed the ADAR3000 and ADR3001 beamformer integrated circuits (BFIC). These highly integrated, low-power BFICs are the first commercially available 4-beam/16-channel that support the K-/Ka-Band satcom bands— both terminal and satellite applications. Each channel contains a programmable step attenuator and programmable time delay for beam steering and draws less than 12 mW/channel. The BFICs have memory to support quick and efficient beam state selection via program control over the SPI bus which supports beam hopping and scanning.

Lightweight, Ka-Band, GaN HPA
Operating from 27.5 GHz to 31 GHz the ERZ HPA-2700-3100-43 high performance amplifier (HPA) uses the latest GaN technology to consistently deliver an output power of 15 W at saturation and close to 10 W with an ACPR of -30 dBc under QPSK modulation. The module measures just 131 x 100 x 33 mm and weighs less than 0.5 kg. Power consumption is also low at 115 W at saturation. It is a rugged and reliable airborne-ready GaN device that is able to replace legacy TWT amplifiers formerly perceived as the only solution at these frequencies.
