mmW 5G/B5G/6GLEO satellites use large active antenna arrays of more than 1000 elements. A number reduction aided by low cost intelligent panels is developed to reduce at least 60 cost. AiPAiM are used to compact the array with reconfigurability at low power losses. The gains are compensated by phase-reconfigurable AiP/AiM to feed smart multi-beam panels of large apertures. It may steer directional beams by operating the active RF modules tightly fed by AiP/AiM based arrays. Tile architecture can be implemented using multiple AiPs/AiMs for flexible array configurations.

mmW Radio systems use large antenna arrays for high gains. The complexitycost of active modules hesitates the applications. A hybrid of small AiP/AiM-based arrays,a smart material panel to reduce the fabrication cost. The AiP/AiM technologies retain high power efficiency at small sizes,dynamic steering with focusing functionality. The smart material-based panels provide sufficient aperture size to increase gain,power focusing. This combination reduces the system complexity by 60. The array reduces the cost by 80 to form AiP/AiM compared to the Starlink’s solution.

An “AiP+Smart material panel” is developed. The AiP/AiM compacts antennasactive RF devices into a system module with low power losseshigh stability of beam reconfigurability. The smart panel increase antenna gains. We realized the AiPs at 5G mmW bands, applicable to ground stations in various applications including handheld devices, mobile terminal devices, Internet of Things (IoT) links,home-center for wireless links between peripheral equipment,CPE high-gain antenna system of frontback haul networks.
