Self-Optimizing Dual-Band Ku/Ka RF-VLSI Beamforming Architecture with Embedded AI for Next-Generation SATCOM and 6G NTN
Abstract
We propose a novel RF-VLSI phase-shifter architecture enabling dual-band Ku/Ka satellite communications (SATCOM) with on-chip AI-assisted calibration. By combining a wideband analog phase-shifter network and embedded machine-learning feedback, our design dynamically compensates PVT and thermal variations for resilient beam steering. Silicon implementation (65 nm CMOS) is experimentally validated. The prototype achieves
