Generic Packaging Technologies for T/R-modules Klas Axelsson Ericsson Microwave Systems AB, Antenna and Module Design, S431 84 Mölndal, Sweden III. ARCHITECTURE In an AESA antenna the distance between each element is defined by the wavelength, the desired angle of beam and specified side lobe level. For an X-band antenna this gives a square of about 16 mm. T/R-modules may be configured into two di
