Formo-SAR：Synthetic-Aperture Radar (Tron Future Tech Inc.)
- Tron Future Tech Inc. continuously delivers world’s thinnest all-digital phased array systems. To create such systems, we have thoroughly studied and tested fundamental principles to make breakthroughs in III/V or CMOS ASIC/SoC, antenna, packaging, cooling, DSP, digital array system, data processing, computer architecture, language compiler, information architecture, production testing methods etc. Making high-end phased arrays in thin form factor allows Tron Future Tech Inc. to create never-imagined applications for diverse industries.
- Formo-SAR is a 5m x 1m satellite synthetic aperture radar. It is composed of 5 synchronized phased array antennas each with an 1m x 1m aperture size. Its total weight is about 175kg excluding the spreading mechanism. Formo-SAR has 20,480 antennas, operates in the X-band, transmits a peak 5kW RF power (~100MW EIRP) at 5%-10% duty cycle with less than 4000W average DC power consumption. It operates in low earth orbit and circles the earth every 90 minutes. It achieves High Resolution (<1m) Wide Swath (~500km) through four digital multibeam. It is an all-weather active remote sensing system commonly used for environmental and disaster observation.
