Abstract
This paper will discuss pertinent issues and trends for S-band and X-band transmit/receive (T/R) modules. The performance of gallium arsenide (GaAs) T/R module components and wide bandgap power amplifiers will be presented along with future challenges. T/R module cost will also be addressed with an emphasis on semiconductor cost factors and issues. Finally, a discussion of packaging and assembly technologies will be provided.
