Until recently phased array radar has been very expensive, used only for military applications where the cost of survival weighs in the balance. With the advent of low-cost microwave devices and ...

Making the world safer for car drivers, passengers and pedestrians is the ultimate goal of automotive safety systems and self-driving cars. To get there, electrical engineers from the University of ...

The current network of weather radars in the United States was installed in the late 1980s and into the 1990s. There are nearly 160 weather radars in the network. The radars are the NEXRAD WSR-88D ...

Phased-array radars are great for all sorts of things, whether you’re doing advanced radio research or piloting a fifth-generation combat aircraft. They’re also typically very expensive. [Nawfal] ...

(Phys.org) -- Aircraft operating in U.S. airspace rely on several different types of ground-based radars to help them fly safely. Yet these radars, based on older technologies that use many mechanical ...

A problem faced by designers of phased array radar systems is the tradeoff of granularity or beam width and system cost, size, weight and power (SWAP). By increasing the number of elements in an array ...

The big picture: Open-source hardware projects rarely stray into territory dominated by six-figure, defense-grade systems, but a new radar design is attempting to do exactly that. Developed by ...

Phased array technology is far from new. Phased-array antennas have been used for decades in a variety of military applications. Now, however, their use in 5G systems in the Band 2 frequency range is ...

Just because we live in an age of many sensors doesn’t mean we always have the right one for the job. One in particular we’ve been lacking is a radar system that can detect obstacles and aircraft ...

There is fascinating technology behind the forecasts on your favorite weather app or Spectrum News weather broadcast. In recent articles, we highlighted the multi-billion dollar tech on weather ...

The Army Digital Array Radar (DAR) project’s goal is to demonstrate how wide-bandgap semiconductor technology, highly-integrated transceivers, and the ever-increasing capabilities of commercial ...
