Learn more about the advancement of digital beamforming phased array technology in this article from Analog Devices.
Active electronically scanned arrays (AESA) and phased array radars have been used and deployed within the aerospace and defense market for more than a decade. The technology began with primarily analog beamforming systems and is now evolving to meet the engineering objectives of near elemental digital beamforming implementations for maximum flexibility and programmability.
The challenges associated with the near elemental digital beamforming evolution include calibration, digital control, distribution of clocks, LO, power, processing the volume of data, and the physical size constraints of the electronics. The practical implementations of digital beamforming have become a reality as the advancement of RF ICs for the wireless industry continue to provide the ability for higher levels of integration in RF designs. Learn more about the continued advancement of RF ICs for the wireless industry as an enabler for the continuation of digital beamforming phased array technology in this article from Analog Devices.
