This blog installment discusses common types of beamforming algorithms as well as a framework to develop and test your own beamformers. Phased-array systems have many advantages over single antennas.

Phased array technology is far from new. Phased-array antennas have been used for decades in a variety of military applications. Now, however, their use in 5G systems in the Band 2 frequency range is ...

The need for significant improvements in radar continues to be an ongoing concern for the Department of Defense (DoD). One of the most impressive developments addressing this need is a high-resolution ...

In Part 1, we introduced the phased array concept, beam steering and array gain. In Part 2, we presented the concept of grating lobes and beam squint. In this section, we begin with a discussion of ...

Over the past few decades, the explosive proliferation of smartphones, Wi-Fi, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices has intensified the need for additional frequency resources. The traditionally used ...

If you watch old science fiction or military movies — or if you were alive back in the 1960s — you probably know the cliche for a radar antenna is a spinning dish. Although the very first radar ...

This blog discusses several challenges behind developing mmWave radar systems for the next generation of smart cars and trucks and looks at new capabilities recently added to electronic design ...

Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT) and Ball Aerospace successfully completed a phased array transmit test for a Multi-Band, Multi-Mission (MBMM) antenna. MBMM helps enable multiple satellites to ...
