Oct. 23, 2024
Log in to download the PDF of Part 2 of the radar basics series, with a focus on element-level digital phased arrays.

Read this article online.

In Part 1 of this series, we covered some basic radar functions and design parameters, the factors driving gain in search radar systems, and various approaches to increasing radar performance. Part 2 covers the top trends we’re observing as we shift to element-level digital phased arrays and how these trends are impacting component selection.

The Phased-Array Evolution

Radar systems function in defense communication, space exploration, remote sensing, law enforcement, air traffic control, and many other applications where they’re operationally critical. With growing demand for multifunctional systems, we’re asking more and more of radar technologies.
