Sandia National
Laboratories, with its in-house RF and microwave development capabilities,
has designed, fabricated, tested, and integrated a multitude of microwave
subsystems to support various synthetic aperture radar programs. Below
are several examples of hardware developed at Sandia National Laboratories.
Various component realizations and levels of miniaturization are illustrated.

Fully integrated
and miniaturized stable local oscillator (STALO), RF upconverter,
and dual-channel receiver for Ku-Band (15 GHz) synthetic aperture
radar. This RF subassembly illustrates surface-mount hybrid microcircuit
(HMC) packaging technology.

|
Ku-Band (12.7
GHz) frequency upconverter in a 6U-VME form factor for next-generation
modular SAR. The module employs surface mount component technology
with microstrip circuitry realized on Rogers TMM®
substrate.

4 GHz IF
receiver with dual conversion and quadrature video demodulation
for modular SAR systems. The module employs surface mount component
technology with microstrip circuitry realized on standard low-cost
FR4 substrate.
