A problem faced by designers of phased array radar systems is the tradeoff of granularity or beam width and system cost, size, weight and power (SWAP). By increasing the number of elements in an array ...

Until recently phased array radar has been very expensive, used only for military applications where the cost of survival weighs in the balance. With the advent of low-cost microwave devices and ...

A radar can be used to locate a buried object. Therefor the radar should operate at low frequencies to be able to penetrate the medium the object is buried in and it should have a high spatial ...

The Army Digital Array Radar (DAR) project’s goal is to demonstrate how wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, highly-integrated transceivers, and the ever-increasing capabilities of commercial ...

Peter Delos, Technical Lead, Bob Broughton, Director of Engineering and Jon Kraft, Senior Staff Field Applications Engineer, all with Analog Devices. With the proliferation of digital phased arrays in ...

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced a highly integrated, active antenna beamforming chip that allows designers to quickly replace bulky, mechanically steered antenna platforms with a compact, ...

In this article, I will cover various aspects of millimeter wave (mmW) beamforming and antenna technology with what I consider interesting and unique technical design examples. Beamforming networks ...
