This session showcases recent groundbreaking developments in RFSA topics. The session begins with a frequency extension module for VNAs that covers 100-175 GHz, followed by a terahertz detector using a novel frequency modulation scheme. An optical frequency division architecture that combines an optical frequency synthesizer with a tunable microwave source is then presented. Finally, the session concludes with an active Ka-band phased array demonstration on a small satellite from low Earth orbit.
