Development of MMIC for the Three Dimensional Phased Array Antenna as Student Project

Many companies are launching a lot of small satellites into the low Earth orbit in order to build the worldwide internet services. The ground stations are required to communicate simultaneously with several satellites. It is impossible for the parabolic antenna to track simultaneously several satellites. Therefore, we are newly developing a ground receiving station using the three dimensional Phased Array Antenna and the Digital Beam Forming technologies, which can simultaneously receive the signals from many satellites. We are developing the MMIC for the three dimensional phased array antenna as the student project. We will make a report on the designs of the MMIC and performances for the phased array antenna at my presentation.
