The DARPA Millimeter Wave Digital Arrays (MIDAS) Program
2020 IEEE BiCMOS and Compound Semiconductor Integrated Circuits and Technology Symposium (BCICTS)（2020）
Abstract
The DARPA Millimeter Wave Digital Arrays (MIDAS) program is demonstrating the first element level digital millimeter wave phased arrays covering the 18-50 GHz band. The performers are leveraging compound semiconductors, CMOS and heterogeneous integration to meet the stringent size and power constraints while pushing the state-of-the-art in RF and mixed-signal design. The 4×4 element dual-polarized transceiver tile will be a building block to enable scalable arrays mobile-to-mobile ad-hoc networking and emerging proliferated low-earth orbit (LEO) satcom. Element-level digital beamforming has the potential to enable multi-beam operation for reduced network discovery time and increased network throughput.
