Objectives

This project aims to develop a wideband highly integrated phase shifter up to an EQM with an EBB driver unit. This equipment will be one of the building blocks of next generation flexible payloads.

Challenges

The key issue of this project is the definition of a wideband highly integrated phase shifter concept compatible with low cost technology.

Plan

The specific tasks to be performed in this project are the following:



  • Design, manufacture and test of an EBB Phase Shifter prototype,

  • Design, manufacture and test of an EBB Driver,

  • Design, manufacture and test of an EQM Phase Shifter Module, to be tested with the EBB Driver equipment.

Current Status


  • System Requirement Review held,

  • Preliminary Design Review held,

  • EBB Driver and Phase Shifter designed, manufactured and tested,

  • EQM Phase Shifter Module designed, not launched.
