Column Network Study for a Planar Array Used with an Unattended Radar

Abstract

Objectives of this program are to investigate design and fabrication techniques for an azimuthally phase-steerable planar array with dual beams for elevation coverage. Network costs, network insertion loss, antenna pattern performance, and reliability are significant considerations. A stripline dual beam column network is being designed, fabricated and tested to demonstrate achievable performance and competitive techniques for production and installation costs are being studied. This report summarizes the work complete during the program: completion of the antenna conceptual design, development of all the required components, design of the dual beam column network, and results of competitive techniques for production.
