Arrays at Commercial Timescales (ACT) program
aims to establish a common radar modular architecture for
next-generation radar systems
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”) (NASDAQ:
MTSI), a leading supplier of high-performance analog RF, microwave,
millimeterwave, and photonic semiconductor products, today
announced that its Scalable Planar ARray
(SPARTM) Tile technology has been selected by Massachusetts
Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory (MIT LL) for use in a
test bed for the U.S Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s
(DARPA) Arrays at Commercial Timescale (ACT) program.

DARPA’s ACT program is designed to streamline development and
manufacturing cycles for next-generation radar, electronic warfare
and communications systems by leveraging best practices established
in the commercial domain. Working with MIT LL, MACOM will interface
its SPAR Tiles with back-end electronics to explore new techniques
for achieving new capabilities in digital phased arrays.
SPAR Tiles are RF assemblies containing antenna elements, GaAs
and GaN semiconductors, transmit and receive modules and RF and
power distribution networks. When combined with additional signal
generation and receive and control electronics, the composite
assembly forms the building block for the MPAR planar active
electronically scanned antenna (AESA) for the radar system.
SPAR Tiles enable the transition from cumbersome traditional
brick architectures to a more efficient planar approach. By
leveraging MACOM’s commercial manufacturing expertise, MACOM
believes that SPAR Tiles will help drive cost efficiencies that are
required to propel MPAR to mainstream adoption and deployment in
the latter part of this decade.
“Working collaboratively with MIT Lincoln Laboratory, MACOM has
played a leading role in advancing SPAR Tile technology to
mainstream adoption,” said Dr. Doug Carlson, Vice President,
Strategy, MACOM. “We believe that the commercial manufacturing
approaches taken in the implementation of SPAR Tiles are fully in
line with DARPA’s ACT program objectives. The interface of ACT
technology with our tiles demonstrates a new approach to RF system
implementation, which is anticipated to drive both shortened time
to market and new levels of affordability while increasing overall
system performance.”
