MIDAS Wideband mm-Wave Digital Tile

Raytheon Technologies teamed with Michigan State University and Teledyne Scientific to present a zero-IF, mixed-signal, 32-channel mm-wave 12nm CMOS transceiver design developed under the DARPA/MTO MIDAS program. The architectural choices, design overview, and measured results are presented. As part of the MIDAS 3D T/R module, element-level digital beamforming provided by this ASIC will allow multiple simultaneous beams over a wide field of regard.
