Phased Array Antennas are arrays of small antennas. By adjusting the relative phase of the signal received by (or transmitted from) each antenna element it is possible to electronically steer the beam to point precisely in a given direction and to dynamically adjust the beam direction to compensate for movements of the antenna or satellite.

Phasor antennas are built up from multiple panels of semiconductor chips, each of which contains a large number of individual antenna elements. Phasor chips include all the R/F functionality and data correlation. This approach differs from the industry standard of having MMIC packaged chips with logic functions hosted in a centralized system.

The Phasor Topboard antenna connects the Phasor chips with radiating elements

The Phasor Backboard distributes the data to the chips on the Topboards
