Hey All! I could really use some help on a bit of a tricky question--at least for someone unfamiliar with the DISH and DirecTV network equipment and network. My company is working on a bid to product a phased array antenna that will be embedded into a roofing or architectural element (hidden...

Really, we want to create an antenna. While a reflector is the epitome of universal (depending on the aperature, surface, LNB . . .) a phased array needs to be more specific. So, your question is fair. We want to put our antenna on trains, buses, aircraft, cruise ships, etc. It is our hope to...

Thanks for responding. Ku is pushing the boundaries of what is possible on an RF CMOS platform--we'll get to Ka band down the road. Immediately, though, up/down conversion might make the Ku chip work for Ka, though not cheaply enough to supplant reflector based solution today. To the balance...

I am helping a team of engineers with a new low cost phased array Ku band antenna for satellite television and internet (in-motion mass transit). We are presently trying to set the ranges for the chip specification which requires a firm definition of the RF frontend requirements. We would like...
