Beamforming options for phased array radar
Abstract
This paper discusses the characteristics of beamforming networks operating in the three major frequency regimes of a radar system and their suitability to implement a range of beamforming functions. Factors affecting the choice of overall beamforming architecture are considered. Finally an indication of future trends is given.
