In one embodiment, an integrated circuit antenna array is provided that
includes: a low-voltage substrate; a high-voltage substrate; a
digital-to-analog converter (DAC) integrated with the low-voltage
substrate, the DAC being operable to receive a digital command and
convert it into an analog voltage; a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
integrated with the low-voltage substrate, the VCO providing an RF signal
having an output frequency responsive to the analog voltage; a plurality
of switching power amplifiers integrated with the high-voltage substrate,
each switching power amplifier receiving an RF signal from the
low-voltage substrate and providing an amplified RF output signal; and a
plurality of antennas adjacent the high-power substrate, each antenna
associating with a corresponding one of the switching power amplifier so
as to transmit the amplified RF output signal from the corresponding
switching power amplifier.
