Millimeter Wave Digital Arrays (MIDAS)
Abstract
The Millimeter Wave Digital Arrays (MIDAS) program developed a common millimeter wave phased array tile that is scalable to large arrays to provide wideband frequency agility from 18 gigahertz (GHz) to 50 GHz with element-level digital beamforming. MIDAS developed a common digital phased array tile that can be used to build large arrays from this common block. MIDAS used advanced complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology to develop the core transceiver elements at a size and power consumption compatible with current millimeter wave systems, and employed a combination of advanced packaging and high-performance compound semiconductors to build the power amplifiers and wideband apertures necessary to make a complete system.
