Design Challenges Of Next-Generation AESA Radar

Phased-array antennas are popular for use in new active electronically-scanned arrays (AESAs) for radar systems, satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles. As these systems are deployed more often, electronic design automation technologies have evolved to provide designers with system architecture, component specifications, individual physical designs, and verification prior to prototyping in order to better support AESA radar development. This white paper examines the new trends, and details how NI AWR Design Environment aids next-generation AESA and phased-array radar development. Download the full article for more information.
