Current Status of Airborne Active Phased Array (AESA) Radar Systems and Future Trends

摘要

AESA technology reached a mature technology level and is being adopted by advanced radar programmes. T/R modules are the key enabling technology and cost reduction efforts in this field are in progress. For future applications GaN, MEMS RF Switches and tile type T/R modules are anticipated and will pave the way for conformal and multi-function AESA radar systems.
