Summary
Current trends in radar system design focus on multi-functional operations, integration with communication systems, and enhanced adaptivity to the operating environment. To meet these demands, radar antenna arrays and RF front ends must be optimized to minimize cost and power consumption while meeting requirements for range and resolution. In this webinar, we provide practical examples RF and antenna array design to enhance the overall radar system performance and reduce costly re-spins.
We will guide you through the process of trading off RF component specifications to meet system requirements. Learn how system-level models can serve as virtual platforms for system exploration, enabling you to make informed design decisions and anticipate the impact of noise, impedance mismatches, dispersion, and non-linearity.
By bridging the analysis of a single antenna element with array optimization, we will develop innovative array architectures, synthesize patterns to mitigate interference, and create smarter beamforming algorithms that optimize radar system performance in different scenarios.
Finally, we will directly utilize data sheet specifications and component measurements to enhance the fidelity of models. Discover how model-based design enables you to evaluate and mitigate the impact of RF impairments at the system level, meeting performance requirements before building costly prototypes.
