Enhanced Seif CALibrating Amplifier components for Space ‒ ESCALAS

In order to implement future active array antennas, and thus RF modules in the frequency ranges from 15 GHz to beyond 60 GHz, in a cost-effective, space-saving and efficient manner, new highly integrated RF components need to be developed. These components are to be implemented using silicon-based semiconductor technologies.
In order to improve the disadvantages of the previous lineariser circuit in terms of broadband capability and losses, this project will implement a lineariser with a third-order distortion generator and a phase and amplitude skewing device. In addition to the previously known functionality, a self-calibration function (SCAL) will be implemented in this project.
