ABSTRACT: Based on the high integration and low profile application requirements of phased array systems, a Ku band 64-element tile type transceiver component was developed. Through the high-density integrated 3D design concept, the 64-element transceiver channels are arranged in a rectangular grid array, and the functional circuits are horizontally arranged and vertically integrated, achieving the low profile characteristics of the components. Detailed introductions were provided on the key circuit design, structural design, and thermal design of the components. Through physical testing, the single channel receiving gain of the transceiver component is ≥6 dB, and the noise figure is ≤3.5 dB; Single channel transmission gain ≥ 4 dB, transmission saturation output power ≥ 22 dBm; Each channel can independently achieve 6-bit phase shift and 4-bit attenuation functions. The phase consistency of 64 channels is better than 7°, and the amplitude consistency is better than 0.6 dB. The component size is 100 mm × 84 mm × 13.1 mm, with a mass of less than 150 g. This transceiver component has a standardized architecture and can flexibly achieve large-scale array expansion.
