Purpose and Scope for a Multi Configurable Active Phased Array Test-Bed

Abstract

It has been proposed that SSD develop a multi-configurable experimental active phased-array microwave radar for carrying out research on advanced architecture and signal processing concepts. This document defines the purpose and the scope of a Multi-Configurable Active Phased Array Test-bed (MCAPA). A number of system and software concepts are discussed, their merits are evaluated and rated against each other. Finally, the way ahead for the development of the MCAPA test-bed is proposed based on the trade-off discussions.
