Novel synthetic phased-array antenna systems for wide-view concertos platforms

摘要

Active Synthetic Phased-Array Antenna Sensors will significantly enhance the RF performance for various synchronized platforms. It is built on the idea of systematically integrating and interfacing Phased-Array Antenna manifolds to retrieve various sensor information. This approach essentially overcomes the inflexibility of employing passive stand-alone single-aperture phased-array sensor as its performance degrades from systems eclipse due to its scan limit. It is a form of concerted RF sensors, designed to provide extended coverage i.e. wide field of view to compensate for the performance loss suffered from using the passive singly-aperture phased-array RF sensors. The design for these sensors is flexible that they can be reconfigured easily for broad range of RF applications. In addition, these sensors can be integrated on various moving and or stationary platforms with state of the art computing capability coupled with interface connectivity to improve the survivability and reliability of the RF sensors. These systems are especially adaptable to mobile structures such as Robotics and the like for modern RF radar, communication and remote sensing operating at extreme weather condition.
