Tender Details

Tenders are invited for Transmit-Receive Beamforming and Front-End Circuits and Chips for Q-V Band SATCOM Terminals

Price Range: 500 KEURO

Procurement Policy: Activity restricted to non-prime contractors (incl. SMEs)

Objectives: The objective of this activity is to design, manufacture and test integrated circuits of the critical beamforming functions in silicon technologies, enabling Q/V-band electronically steerable antenna for satcom terminals. As a minimum, two types of integrated circuits will be developed. One chip shall be a multichannel transmit-receive beamforming radio frequency integrated circuit (RFIC) and the second chip shall be a multichannel transmit-receive front end. Targeted Improvements: Enabling high-data rate electronically steerable Q/V band SATCOM terminals. Description: Deployment of Q/V band feeder links has accelerated, and Q/V band is expected be used also for high-throughput user links such as airborne terminals to leverage the available spectrum. As in Ku and Ka band, Q/V band terminals will require electronically steerable antenna. The architecture of a Q/V band electronically steerable antenna is expected to be similar to architectures used at Ku- and Ka-band, but key building blocks are not available in Europe
