A UK startup will push a kind of phased array antenna system which allows moving vehicles to communicate with satellites and antennas to track satellites.
Phasor Solutions Ltd. uses the 155-GHz SiGe process from TowerJazz to replace GaAs for the transceivers alongside its phase array antenna design. The Farnborough Air Show will be holden next month, which is targeting the multi-billion dollar satellite communications and radar market.
The Phasor chips have all the radio frequency functions (amplifiers, oscillators) and phase shifting circuits, as well as the logic and data modulation/demodulation required. Founded by venture capital firm Anglo Scientific and circuit designer Richard Mayo in 2005,Phasor Solutions are used in flat and conformal high gain antennas to fit on the roofs of moving vehicles.
As wireless internet access on trains may have over 500 million users worldwide, it is one of Phasor’s initial market targets. However airborne satcoms and other Comms-On-The-Move (COTM) applications are likely to be larger markets.
