About

The Ka-PS-2533 is a GaAs diode MMIC analog phase shifter designed for Ka-band satellite communications and phased array beam steering applications, covering 25.5-32.5 GHz with continuous 0-360 degree phase variation. With 5-10 dB insertion loss and +/-2 dB attenuation variation, it enables fine-grain beam control in electronically steerable antenna arrays for SATCOM-on-the-move and LEO ground terminal systems.

The device is controlled by a simple analog voltage (-0.5 to +0.7 V) requiring only 2 V supply at 20 mA, making it straightforward to interface with standard beamforming ICs and FPGAs. Phase tracking accuracy of +/-25 degrees and output power handling up to 20 dBm are suitable for transmit-side phased array integration. The bare die form factor (3.45 x 2.08 x 0.10 mm, gold-plated backside) supports compact multi-chip module integration.

The Ka-PS-2533 is part of Arralis’ Leonis chipset family and is rated for commercial and military grades across -40C to +85C operating temperature and -65C to +175C storage temperature. It finds application in phased array antennas for Ka-band satellite uplink, 5G millimeter-wave base stations, and multi-channel beam steering systems for autonomous vehicles and airborne SATCOM.
