Atmospheric Radar Research Seminar
The goal of the seminar is for students to share their recent research results
with others and to get to know other students and faculty in the similar research area.
The presentation is 20 min and 10 min for questions and discussions.
The seminar starts at 1:00 in NWC 1350. For more detailed information about the ARRC Seminar Series, please see the ARRC Seminar Series Guidance and Policy Document. Also, an archive of past abstracts are available from the NWC Seminar Series website.

| Title | Digital Array Radar for Low Cost Phased Arrays |
| Abstract |
In this talk we will discuss the digital array radar panel that is being created at Purdue University. This radar panel is an attempt to demonstrate the future of radar, which is a system that is highly flexible in operation while significantly lower cost than current arrays. The radar has sampling and digitization behind every element and the beam forming is done entirely in the digital domain. The architecture uses GaN and highly integrated SiGe analog components without phase shifters in order to create coherent transmit and receive channels which are then combined digitally. The RF section of the system is reduced and this leads to the potential of a low cost array. For the panel, the idea is to integrate high power components in manufacturing methods as simple as making a laptop computer or simple computer motherboard with integrated antennas. As the years pass, the capability of digital processing marches on in very predictable fashion. As a result, digital processing will be pushed closer to the array face and will play a more advanced role in future array systems. The panel is a testbed for the emerging technologies in which these trends can be analyzed and tested. We will demonstrate the operation of the panel and field questions on the performance and limitations.
