The Basics of Radar Technology (Part 2) (Download)
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.
