Phased array antennas have four major advantages over traditional antennas: 1. Fast beam scanning speed, up to microseconds; 2. Multi-beam capability, supporting simultaneous multi-target tracking; 3. Higher accuracy, with beam pointing error less than 0.1°; 4. Greater reliability, modular design reduces the risk of single-point failure. Beam Switching Speed Last year when SpaceX Starlink satellites […]

Design considerations for waveguide and microstrip lines: 1. Loss: waveguide loss is less than 0.05dB/m, while microstrip loss is about 0.5dB/m. 2. Frequency response: waveguide is suitable for frequency bands above GHz, while microstrip is mostly used in the MHz to GHz range. 3. Size: microstrip is more compact, while waveguide is large in size

Five key factors for selecting a waveguide manufacturer: 1. Precision, ensure tolerance ≤ 0.02mm; 2. Material quality, preferably high conductive alloys; 3. Cost-effectiveness, compare quotations, the difference can be as high as 20%; 4. Production capacity, the monthly production capacity should exceed 1,000 pieces; 5. Customer support, the response time is within 24 hours. How

Three ways to reduce antenna manufacturing costs: 1. Use PCB technology for mass production, and the cost of each piece can be reduced to less than $5; 2. Use FR4 to replace high-frequency materials, reducing costs by about 40%; 3. Optimize the design to reduce metal usage, such as using a hollow structure, saving up
