Hi,
I want to design a phased array antenna for satellite communication (Ku band) request to guide me how ADAR1000 will help me to design my system. Also please suggest some readily available phased array antenna which is compatible with ADAR1000. It will be kind if you can give explanation with help of block diagram. Also request to let me know the price of ADAR1000 and it's evaluation board.
Thanks in advance.

There are some commercially available x-band antennas, but these look to be more suitable for prototyping rather than full deployment:

Note that these are just examples of what is available. There is no guarantee how well the ADAR1000 would work with them as they have not been tested together.
The ADAR1000 evaluation board is listed here: https://www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluation-hardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits/EVAL-ADAR1000.html#eb-buy
