Abstract

Modern wireless systems, especially at millimeterwave, place increasingly stringent requirements on size, weight,
power and cost (SWaP-C). In this talk we present an overview of our recent work on active beamsteering array antennas for mmwave sensing applications, highlighting an active transmitarray antenna for Ka-band (34-36 GHz) monopulse tracking radar with commercial SiGe-based beamforming chips developed for 5G. Moreover, an outlook is given towards higher levels of integration between electronics and array antennas, where codesign techniques such as direct matching and in-antenna combining may help optimizing output power and efficiency.

Funding

The work presented in this document is a result of the NEXTPERCEPTION project (www.nextperception.eu), which is jointly funded by the European Commission and national funding agencies under the ECSEL joint undertaking. The Ka-band radar demonstrator was designed and realized with the support of Corn e Stoffels, Michal Polewski, Marcel Geurts, NXP Semiconductors and NXP GNTC-N Sample Services. Fig. 1 is by Bart van Overbeeke photography. The PA-antenna co-design overview and model are a result of collaboration with the department of Defense, Safety and Security (DSS), of the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO).
