The classic T/R module that made high-performance X-band phased arrays possible cost on the order of $1000 each, which prevented widespread adoption of the technology. Various efforts by DARPA have attempted to bring the price down to $100.

For a fixed power level, a GaN MMIC can be 1/3-1/4 the size of an equivalent power GaAs MMIC. Raytheon has found that, if the finished GaN wafer (including material) costs 2X that of GaAs, but yet the GaN MMIC is 1/3-1/4 the size of the GaAs MMIC, the resulting GaN solution is only 50-66% the dollars per RF watt generated (To be checked with data in Sturdivant's book).

APPLICATION NOTE
LTCC T/R X-Band Module With a Phased-Array Antenna
This application example describes the steps to design a transmit/receive (T/R) module with a 2x2 phased-array antenna operating in the 8-12 GHz frequency range. Several innovative capabilities within the NI AWR software are highlighted, including multi-technology and circuit/system co-simulation, as well as phased-array modeling.
