The
subject of the thermal design of the active antenna elements that are being
planned will require some quite serious work to solve the issues being
presented.

But how much
power do the FPGAs require? Of course, it depends on what is programmed
into them and the clock rate. But I know that in some applications they
require a heat sink, so it can be quite a lot (several watts) of
power.
