Analog Devices unveiled a modular phased-array platform combining beamforming, X-band conversion, and RF digitization

Analog Devices unveiled a modular phased-array platform combining beamforming, X-band conversion, and RF digitization. The platform uses the ADAR1000 beamformer IC, ADTR1101 transmit/receive module, and ADRV9009 transceiver for signal processing. It offers 2 W to 4 W of transmit power, 23 dB of receive gain, and 360-degree phase control.
