second generation architecture based on a distributed antenna system (DAS) with radio
over fiber transmission (RFoF) from planar phased array feed (PAF) to the central site digital
signal processing (DSP). With 36× 12m reflector antennas and 188 elements per PAF, there
are 6840 ports with signal and conversion (SAC) paths. Low cost implementation is key for
phased array systems comprising thousands of elements. The implementation and …
