Objectives
The project aimed at developing a low cost Ka Band 2W Transceiver for use on HYLAS.
Challenges
The project addressed the major issues associated with the design of a low cost product for use in Ka band, In particular the thermal issues associated with achieving a high performance at the highest efficiency and operating temperature range.
The Phase Noise and Spurious outputs of the unit were also critical in order to meet ETSI requirements.
