This book was released on 2015-04-10 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Practical ultrawideband phased array technology used in airborne and ground-based systems applications. Ultrawideband phased array antennas are an enabling technology for many ground-based and airborne communications and radar systems. This book surveys electromagnetic theory and phased array antenna theory and provides examples of ultrawideband phased array antenna technology. It describes some of the research on ultrawideband phased arrays undertaken by the authors and their colleagues at MIT Lincoln Laboratory over the last ten years. The book focuses on experimental prototype ultrawideband phased array technology developed at Lincoln Laboratory for applications in the VHF and UHF bands from approximately 100 MHz to 1 GHz, and addresses dipole, monopole, loop, and other antenna array elements. It offers examples of antennas for both airborne and ground vehicle applications. Most of the examples are developed in the context of rapid prototyping for quick assessment of communications and radar systems feasibility, with measurements and numerical electromagnetic simulation results provided for many prototype examples. The book is intended primarily for practicing antenna engineers, radar engineers, and communications engineers, and for graduate students and researchers in electrical engineering. Readers need no prior knowledge of ultrawideband antennas, although some background in electromagnetic theory, antennas, radar, and communications would be helpful.

Download or read book Active Phased Array Radar Analysis written by Victor A. Micheli and published by . This book was released on 1996-09-01 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A phased array antenna can electronically steer the direction of the antenna beam almost instantaneously. In an Active Phased Array Radar (APAR), this capability is used to allow the system to multiplex its time between many different functions; the primary functions are search and target tracking. Potentially, the APAR can be designed based on the task it is performing, such that any savings in radar time in meeting the requirement of one task allow that time to be devoted beneficially to other tasks. The primary goal of this research is to investigate the performance assessment and improve the techniques for control of an Active Phased Array Radar performing the tracking function. In order to reliably and efficiently track targets, a MS. Excel 5.0 Spread Sheet program is implemented so that tracking range must be rapidly changed. With this program we can explore the many degrees of freedom that future APAR's will bring, such as adaptable update rate, antenna beamwidth, transmitted power, frequency, etc.

Download or read book Radar Cross Section of Dipole Phased Arrays with Parallel Feed Network written by Hema Singh and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the detailed analytical formulation for the RCS of parallel-fed linear dipole array in the presence of mutual coupling. The radar cross section (RCS) of an object represents its electromagnetic (EM) scattering properties for a given incident wave. The analysis of scattered field is critical in military and defence arenas, especially while designing low-observable platforms. It is well-known that the presence of an antenna/array on the target influences its echo area significantly. The primary cause for such scattering of the incident signals is reflection that occurs within the antenna aperture and its feed network. In this book, the RCS estimation is done based on the signal path within the antenna system. The scattered field is expressed in terms of array design parameters including the reflection and transmission coefficients. The computed results show the variation in the RCS pattern with and without mutual coupling. The effect of finite dipole-length, inter-element spacing, scan angle, array configuration, amplitude distribution and terminating load impedance on the RCS pattern is studied. It is shown that the array RCS can be controlled by choosing optimum design parameters, including terminating impedance and geometric configuration. This book explains each step of the RCS estimation and analysis of dipole array with detailed schematics, tables and illustrations. Moreover, it includes parametric analysis of RCS estimation and control. This book provides an insight into the phenomenon of scattering within the phased array system.
