Antenna array optimisation and synthesis techniques constitute a crucial area of research aimed at refining the performance of modern radiating systems used in communications, radar, and power ...

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 ...

How large-area electronics can be adapted to create a gigahertz phased-array antenna. The potential advantages of this approach versus discrete components. The test arrangement used and some test ...

A multi-band phased array ground antenna developed by L3Harris was integrated with the Space Force’s Satellite Control Network in order to demonstrate multiple simultaneous satellite contacts. Credit: ...

This is the second article of our three-part series on phased array antenna patterns. In Part 1, we introduced the phased array steering concept and looked at the influencers on array gain. In Part 2, ...

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 ...

POLARIZATION. We use the word in everyday speech to mean a division into two groups with sharply contrasting opinions or beliefs. But the word has another use in physics and electrical engineering to ...

Traditional cable and satellite — and even connected TV livestreaming — face growing competition for TV viewing time among specific audience segments, in particular, as their adoption of linear ...

A log-periodic antenna, also known as a log-periodic array or aerial, is a directional and narrow beam antenna that operates over a wide bandwidth. Its advantage is that it exhibits essentially ...

Evolving communication systems are driving developments in the RF/microwave industry. The large umbrella of 5G focuses on supporting three main technologies: enhanced mobile broadband, which is the ...
