A multi-company research effort has converted an AN/APG-77 active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar into a communications system. While maintaining the radar’s sensor capabilities, engineers ...

The current network of weather radars in the United States was installed in the late 1980s and into the 1990s. There are nearly 160 weather radars in the network. The radars are the NEXRAD WSR-88D ...

The term “phased array” has been around for a long time, but in recent years we’ve heard more and more about the beam shaping that’s possible with phased array antennae. In the video below the break, ...

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Ball Aerospace successfully completed a phased array transmit test for a Multi-Band, Multi-Mission (MBMM) antenna. MBMM helps enable multiple satellites to ...

InDyne Inc., Sterling, Virginia, has been awarded a $417,799,124 firm-fixed-price contract for operations and maintenance of the Solid State Phased Array Radar System (SSPARS). The contract provides ...

The operation of ground stations and phased-array antennas. How SDRs are integrated into ground stations. Issues to be considered when incorporating SDRs into phased-array antennas. Examples of ...

This blog installment discusses common types of beamforming algorithms as well as a framework to develop and test your own beamformers. Phased-array systems have many advantages over single antennas.

One limit to the use of phased array radars is the physical size of the arrays. Their large size prevents their use in collision avoidance systems in automobiles and other platforms that could benefit ...
