Abstract
Technologies directed to Serializer/Deserializer (SerDes) connections and SerDes routing between digital beam forming (DBF) devices of a panel with an array of antenna elements, such as on satellite User Link panels, are described. A first DBF device is coupled to a first modem over a first SerDes link and coupled to RFFE circuitry. A second DBF device is coupled to the first DBF device over a second SerDes link. Each of the DBF devices is coupled to multiple antenna elements. The DBF devices route data between the modem and the other DBF devices, such as in a chain of DBF devices.
