Product Design of a High-Power S-Band MIC Module for Phased Arrays

The mechanical and electrical design of a 10-W S-band hybrid microwave integrated circuit (MIC) module is described. The module uses transistor chips mounted on a carrier designed for stripline applications. Seventeen units were constructed and representative test data are presented. Phase matching of /spl plus mn/ 15/spl deg/ was obtained between a group of modules by use of compensating lengths of lines attached to the outputs.
