Key Points
• Integrated RF systems are key for ground and
airborne terminals to create efficient and
scalable AESA antenna deployment.
• Ku and Ka bands enable high-throughput
communication but require efficient power and
thermal management due to their demanding
RF characteristics.
• Power efficiency, linearity, and miniaturization
in BFICs are essential for ensuring high-quality
links in dynamic environments.
