Download or read book Electronically Scanned Arrays written by Robert J. Mailloux and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scanning arrays present the radar or communications engineer with the ultimate in antenna flexibility. They also present a multitude of new opportunities and new challenges that need to be addressed. In order to describe the needs for scanned array development, this book begins with a brief discussion of the history that led to present array antennas. This text is a compact but comprehensive treatment of the scanned array, from the underlying basis for array pattern behavior to the engineering choices leading to successful design. The book describes the scanned array in terms of radiation from apertures and wire antennas and introduces the effects resulting directly from scanning, including beam broadening, impedance mismatch and gain reduction and pattern squint and those effects of array periodicity including grating and quantization lobes and array blindness. The text also presents the engineering tools for improving pattern control and array efficiency including lattice selection, subarrray technology and pattern synthesis. Equations and figurers quantify the phenomena being described and provide the reader with the tools to tradeoff various performance features. The discussions proceed beyond the introductory material and to the state of the art in modern array design. Contents: Basic Principles and Applications of Array Antennas / Element Coupling Effects in Array Antennas / Array Pattern Synthesis / Subarray Techniques for Limited Field of View and Wide Band Applications

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This authoritative resource provides you with a detailed description of ideal array element characteristics that help you estimate the quality of development of real-world phased array antennas. You find several approaches to optimum phased array design, allowing you to provide specified array gain in a specific region of scan, using a minimum number of expensive, controlled devices. Moreover, this practical book presents important numerical methods that you can use to model and optimize phased array structure to obtain the best array characteristics that the chosen structure can provide.From arrays with beam-forming networks, arrays of coupled dual-mode waveguides, and arrays with reactively loaded radiators, to waveguide arrays with protruding dielectric elements, and arrays with strip, disk, and wire structures, this comprehensive reference explains a wide range of essential topics to help you with work in this challenging area. The book is supported with over 165 illustrations and more than 566 equations.
Download or read book A Limited scan Antenna Comprised of a Microwave Lens and Phased array Feed written by Robert V. McGahan and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited-scan antennas are finding increasing use in satellite communications and airport approach radars. Earlier attempts to achieve limited scan involved the use of parabolic lenses, zoning, and movable or dual-focus feeds. In the method described here, the main beam is scanned electronically by using a circular-arc phased array. The microwave lens is designed so that its back face satisfies the scanning condition. The beam is focused by shaping the front face of the lens to meet the required focusing condition and by varying the phase propagation of the lens. Two of the lenses studied were dielectric-loaded. A waveguide lens designed to scan in one dimension yielded experimental results that were good agreement with the theoretical predictions. Representative plots, and computer-generated farfield patterns of two topographically unique cases, are given.

Download or read book Basic Radar Analysis Second Edition written by Mervin C. Budge and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2020-04-30 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly-anticipated second edition of an Artech House classic covers several key radar analysis areas: the radar range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, waveforms, antennas, active arrays, receivers and signal processors, CFAR and chaff analysis. Readers will be able to predict the detection performance of a radar system using the radar range equation, its various parameters, matched filter theory, and Swerling target models. The performance of various signal processors, single pulse, pulsed Doppler, LFM, NLFM, and BPSK, are discussed, taking into account factors including MTI processing, integration gain, weighting loss and straddling loss. The details of radar analysis are covered from a mathematical perspective, with in-depth breakdowns of radar performance in the presence of clutter. Readers will be able to determine the nose temperature of a multi-channel receiver as it is used in active arrays. With the addition of three new chapters on moving target detectors, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) and new MATLAB codes, this expanded second edition will appeal to the novice as well as the experienced practitioner.

Download or read book Design Criteria and Numerical Simulation of an Antenna System for One dimensional Limited Scan written by Giorgio V. Borgiotti and published by . This book was released on 1975 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical and numerical study was performed on a novel design scheme for an antenna for limited one-dimensional scan. The system has a number of control elements approximately equal to the minimum that are theoretically compatible with the aperture size and field of view (FOV). The radiating structure consists of a 'boot lace' lens with linear outer and circular inner profiles. This geometry plays a basic role in determining excellent scan performance over a moderate frequency band. A linear array whose size depends critically upon scan requirements and the lens focal length is located on the focal plane and is focussed onto the inner lens profile. The array is fed by a Hybrid Network (HN) performing a spatial Fourier transformation. The input ports of the HN are fed by the output ports of a Beam Forming Network (BFN) through a set of variable phase shifters. The BFN has separate input ports for the sum and difference patterns controlled independently. The system works as follows. The antenna illumination is synthesized as the weighted superposition of components illuminations or 'overlapping subarrays', each of which is due to the excitation of one of the ports of the HN. The amplitudes of the subarray excitations are fixed and determined by the power divisions provided by the BFN. Their phases are controlled by the set of variable phase shifters. A desirable feature of the scheme is that for fixed phase shifter settings, neither the beam scans nor the width changes for a moderate frequency variation.
