Abstract: This invention relates to a transmit/receive module for a high power Active Phased Array Antenna system operating in L-band based upon a combination of Hybrid Microwave Integrated Circuit (MIC) as well as Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) technology. The transmit/receive module includes a power monitoring means, transmitter protector means, and a receiver protector means. The module comprises a signal transmit chain incorporating power conditioner and a signal receive chain incorporating control electronics and bias- sequencer modulator. The transmit chain has switching means for switching the module to transmit mode which is connected to the transmit amplifier chain through a shared digital phase shifter. The amplified signals from the transmit amplifier chain are conveyed to a duplexer means.
