“The components we are developing are based on addressable low-loss semiconductors which can be used to switch signals to the elements of an antenna array across a wide range of frequencies,” said Novocomms chairman Colin Tucker. “This addressability reduces the complexity of the PCB on which the array of elements is mounted and hence reduces the cost of the board.”
Novocomms will work with County Durham based Viper RF on the project, a specialist in GaN and GaAs microwave semiconductor IC design.
