Zusammenfassung:The current status of monolithic microwave integrated circuits (MMICs) in phased array feeds is discussed from the point of view of cost performance, reliability, and design considerations. Transitions to MMICs, compatible antenna radiating elements and reliability considerations are addressed. Hybrid antennas, feed array antenna technology, and offset reflectors versus phased arrays are examined.
