Integration of High-Performance Electronic Components in Digital-Based Radar and Antenna Systems
Abstract
The proposed research will provide insight into the application of computational electromagnetic techniques to the design of the antenna and radar components commonly found in navigational and global positioning systems in a variety of modern-day aircraft ordnance. Ordnance examples include the class of weapons referred to as Small Diameter Bombs (SDB) and the Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile (AMRAAM), both of which employ high-level digital technology and densely-packed solid-state electronic configurations as part of their guidance systems. The corresponding analysis of the electromagnetic field behavior within each system component will include the investigation of the factors which may limit the performance of very-large-scale integrated antenna and radar networks.
