• Dual-beam support enables make-before-break links, and the flat-panel arrays aim to cut design time for ground terminals. • Sivers Semiconductors announced general availability of its Cloudchaser beamforming chipset and Maverick antenna-array panels for Ka-band SATCOM ground terminals. • Sivers’ Cloudchaser chipset includes theBLUEWAY1721receive beamforming IC and theSTAMPEDE2731/STAMPEDE2731LPtransmit beamforming ICs. • Cloudchaser enables electronically-steered antenna systems for ground terminals with support for two simultaneous beams. • Multi-beam support enables ‘make-before-break’ and two simultaneous links across satellites, orbits and networks. • The transmit beamforming IC is offered in two variants, supporting high and medium output power levels.
