The growth drivers for revenue in the radar market relate to the fast capability evolution of phased array radar systems and the new applications that these capabilities and technologies will enable. However, these capabilities and applications will not evolve without advancements across the phased array radar supply chain. Exploring the latest developments in the ecosystem and supply chain forms the basis for the articles in this eBook. The first article addresses how emerging gradient index technology, coupled with additive manufacturing techniques, can provide different solutions for phased array performance and SWaP-C challenges. The second article explores the differences between digital and hybrid phased arrays. It looks at the proper way to power the FPGAs that are crucial for either beamforming/beam steering approach. The third article reminds readers that radar systems operate in environments with intentional and unintentional interfering signals. It discusses architectures and challenges for protecting the systems in the presence of these interferers. The fourth article describes simulation techniques to provide faster, less expensive ways to predict phased array performance. The fifth and final article describes an over-the-air approach to testing and calibrating millimeter wave phased arrays.
