Aim of this contribution is to illustrate Elettronica's recent development in microwave Transmit/Receive Module technology and present the performance of a C-Ku Band, 8 Channel TX/RX Module for Electronic Warfare Systems. The so-called Blade Module is based on custom Microwave Monolithic Integrated Circuits fabricated in GaAs and GaN technology, designed to perform RF signal conditioning (phase and amplitude control) and front-end functionality (low noise reception, high power transmission, TX/RX commutation). Each channel can provide more than 30dBm saturated output power and can be directly plugged onto an antenna array.
