FermionIC Design teams up with Tata Electronics to roll out the FD3R4411, India’s first homegrown 4-channel X-Band beamformer IC, enabling next-gen phased array radar solutions with fully domestic design and production.
FermionIC Design has partnered with Tata Electronics to launch India’s first 4-channel X-Band beamformer IC, the FD3R4411, aimed at next-generation TDD phased array antennas used in ranging radars, imaging radars, and advanced surveillance platforms.
This first-of-its-kind indigenous IC marks a significant milestone for India’s semiconductor and radar technology ecosystem, demonstrating end-to-end domestic capability from RFIC design to wafer-level assembly and testing. The FD3R4411 has already been adopted by multiple public and private organisations, accelerating India’s capacity to develop homegrown phased array radar solutions.
Under the partnership, Tata Electronics serves as the outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT) partner, responsible for flip-chip ball grid array (FcBGA) assembly, wafer-level testing, and post-silicon validation. The collaboration ensures that nearly the entire manufacturing value chain remains within India while enabling staggered volume production starting Q4 2025.
Gautam Kumar Singh, CEO of FermionIC Design, said, “Our partnership with Tata Electronics allows us to take this complex IC, fully designed and developed in India, from design to staggered volume production on an accelerated timeline, while keeping nearly the entire manufacturing value chain domestic.”
The collaboration highlights the growing synergy between Indian semiconductor design innovators and advanced manufacturing partners, signalling a scalable pathway for indigenous high-frequency radar electronics production and strengthening India’s strategic independence in defence, surveillance, and imaging radar technologies.
