High-power, high-efficiency beamforming for compact Ka/Ku satcom terminals.
Satcom connects aircraft, ships, vehicles, and underserved communities with resilient broadband. Sivers’ analog beamformer and RFIC portfolio enables agile, multi-beam AESA terminals that hand off seamlessly across LEO/MEO/GEO and between Ku/Ka bands—while shrinking size, weight, and power.
Why Sivers for SATCOM?
BFICs with unmatched transmit power efficiency.
Sivers BFICs address connectivity needs in
both Ku- and Ka-band.
Multi-beam beamforming network provides make-before-break capability.
Antenna panels populated with TX/RX BFICs simplify SATCOM terminal design.
Factory-calibrated beamforming ICs simplify SATCOM array integration and production.
What Problems We Solve
High-frequency satcom delivers massive bandwidth but suffers from rain fade, path loss, and frequent LEO handovers. Sivers analog beamformers deliver high EIRP with excellent efficiency to extend range and reduce DC power, while low-noise receive chains shrink array size.
Multi-beam agility boosts spectral efficiency and reliability across dynamic LEO passes and multi-satellite operations.
Key Benefits
- High output power → longer links, smaller arrays, fewer tiles.
- High efficiency → lower SWaP and thermal load for airborne/vehicular terminals.
- Low noise figure → improved G/T or fewer receive elements.
- Electronic beam steering → reduced maintenance and OPEX vs mechanical pointing.
- Compact, conformal form factors → integrate into fuselages, radomes, vehicle roofs.
