  • Heat regulation for components of phased array antennas
    Patent number: 10290939
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for regulating heat for a Phased Array Antenna (PAA). The system includes a PAA, which includes array elements to handle Radio Frequency (RF) signals. The PAA also includes a circuit. The circuit includes an amplifier that operates on a current to amplify signals for the PAA, and a sensor that measures temperature at the MMIC. The PAA also includes an array controller that adjusts the current for the amplifier based on a temperature measured by the sensor.
    Type: Grant
