├Multi-channel core chips for K-Ka SatCom phased arrays

Micrograph of an hexa-core K-Ka SatCom integrated circuits (3.3 x 3.5 mm²) in a 0.25 μm SiGe:C BiCMOS process provided by IHP GmbH

In strong collaboration with the University of Ulm, we’ve developed multi-channel chips for Rx/Tx K/Ka band SatCom applications.
