A MEMS-based, Ka-band, 16-element sub-array

The Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Center (AMRDEC) has been involved in an Army Technology Objective (ATO) aimed at furthering phased arrays for both tactical seekers and communication links. The ATO has been pursuing both MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) and MMIC-based phase shifters with an overall goal of $50K for a tactical seeker at Ka-band and $5K for a communication link at Ku-band.
