Abstract

An active electrically scanned array (AESA) antenna device is disclosed. In embodiments, the AESA antenna device includes a beam forming network (212) including a plurality of analog beamformer (ABF) integrated circuit devices (214). The beam forming network may be configured to: receive a first set of signals and a second set of signals with multiple ABF integrated circuit devices, and combine the first set of signals and the second set of signals to generate a first receive input beam and a second receive input beam. In embodiments, the AESA antenna device further includes a carrier substrate (204) communicatively coupled to the beam forming network. The carrier substrate may be configured to receive the first receive output beam with a first electrical line (208a) and the second receive output beam with a second electrical line (208b), and route the first electrical line and the second electrical line within a first manifold layer (210) of the carrier substrate.
