PHASED ARRAY RADAR STUDIES

Abstract

The project effort is directed toward investigation of components, techniques and the fundamental theoretical limitations of arrays for high-power high-resolution radar applications. Studies of the fundamentals of arrays include consolidation of the mutual coupling theory and studies of the effects of such coupling on unequally spaced arrays. The relationship between transmitter efficiency and transmitted pulse width is examined and expressions are derived for minimizing the cost of certain array systems when the per- element costs are known.
