MULTI-BEAM PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA FOR LIMITED SCAN APPLICATIONS

Systems and methods are disclosed herein to provide improved phased array antenna system. For example, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a phased array antenna system includes a plurality of horn/filter assemblies. A plurality of modules are adapted to provide RF signals to the horn/filter assemblies. Each of the horn/filter assemblies is mounted on a top surface of a corresponding one of the modules. A thermal system is adapted to cool the modules. The modules are mounted on a first surface of the thermal system. A plurality of distribution boards associated with the modules are mounted on a second surface of the thermal system. A plurality of interconnects associated with the modules are adapted to connect the modules with the distribution boards through the thermal system.
