Phased array antenna systems are at the cusp of ubiquity. We now see Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antenna systems on WiFi routers. Soon phased array weather radar systems will help to predict ...

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 ...

Phased array technology is far from new. Phased-array antennas have been used for decades in a variety of military applications. Now, however, their use in 5G systems in the Band 2 frequency range is ...

The need for significant improvements in radar continues to be an ongoing concern for the Department of Defense (DoD). One of the most impressive developments addressing this need is a high-resolution ...

In Part 1, we introduced the phased array concept, beam steering and array gain. In Part 2, we presented the concept of grating lobes and beam squint. In this section, we begin with a discussion of ...

This blog discusses several challenges behind developing mmWave radar systems for the next generation of smart cars and trucks and looks at new capabilities recently added to electronic design ...

Advances in semiconductor technology have enabled the proliferation of phased array antenna with active electronically scanned antenna (AESA) advancing in satcom on-the-move and 5G communications.

Over the past few decades, the explosive proliferation of smartphones, Wi-Fi, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices has intensified the need for additional frequency resources. The traditionally used ...

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 ...

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 ...
