This blog installment discusses common types of beamforming algorithms as well as a framework to develop and test your own beamformers. Phased-array systems have many advantages over single antennas.

In Part 1, we introduced the phased array concept, beam steering and array gain. In Part 2, we presented the concept of grating lobes and beam squint. In this section, we begin with a discussion of ...

One of the major advantages of array antennas is that the array excitation can be closely controlled to produce extremely-low-sidelobe patterns or very accurate approximations of chosen radiation ...

An antenna array, or phased array, is a set of two or more antennas whose signals are combined in order to improve performance over that of a single antenna. An antenna array is used to increase ...

POLARIZATION. We use the word in everyday speech to mean a division into two groups with sharply contrasting opinions or beliefs. But the word has another use in physics and electrical engineering to ...

Evolving communication systems are driving developments in the RF/microwave industry. The large umbrella of 5G focuses on supporting three main technologies: enhanced mobile broadband, which is the ...

For some applications single element antennas are unable to meet the gain or radiation pattern requirements. Combining several single antenna elements in an array can be a possible solution. This ...

Antennas are mechanical components which either transmit or receive radio frequency signals. For transmission, an oscillating RF electrical current is fed to the antenna's terminals, where the conduit ...
