MAIR: Airborne Intercept Solid State Active Radar Module.

Abstract

The objective of the MAIR (Molecular Airborne Intercept Radar) Program is the development of an X-band solid-state transmit/receive module for a future Navy phased array fire-control radar system. The basic system philosophy is dependent upon the development of an active aperture assuming certain anticipated air-to-air modes and threat environments. It was desired to demonstrate an X-band solid-state transmit/receive module, fabricate and test 20 radiating elements with the RF circuitry, and test these elements in a linear array to verify sidelobe level performance. The success in meeting these objectives is summarized in the report.
