World's most complex silicon phased-array chip developed at UC-San Diego

UC-San Diego electrical engineers have developed the world's most complex 'phased array' -- or radio frequency integrated circuit. This DARPA-funded advance is expected to find its way into US defense satellite communication and radar systems. In addition, the innovations in this chip design will likely spill over into commercial applications, such as automotive satellite systems for direct broadcast TV, and new methods for high-speed wireless data transfer.
