Abstract
The paper describes two K-band multi-chip modules developed for the satellites on the IRIDIUM communication program. The modules employ a wide range of low noise and power 0.25 um PHEMT MMICs to provide all K-band transmit/receive functions aboard the spacecraft. The modules include over 500 active and passive components including LNAs, power amplifiers, mixers, frequency doublers, and associated support circuitry. Descriptions are provided of the MMIC and module development programs, module producibility features, and the associated MMIC reliability test program. Also described is a novel K-band interface method which eliminates RF alignment.<>
介绍了铱星通信计划中为卫星研制的两种k波段多芯片模块。这些模块采用广泛的低噪声和功率0.25 um PHEMT mmic，提供航天器上所有k波段发射/接收功能。这些模块包括500多个有源和无源组件，包括lna、功率放大器、混频器、倍频器和相关的支持电路。描述了MMIC和模块的开发程序，模块的可生产性特点，以及相关的MMIC可靠性测试程序。本文还介绍了一种消除射频对准的新型k波段接口方法
