Organisation

The French see's Technical Committee 2SR (Systèmes Radar Sonar et Radioélectriques) , in charge of activities in the domains of detection, localisation and navigation, in co-operation with the UK IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology), is organising a one day seminar on the technological evolution of active antenna T/R modules and the implications for future radar architecture, including "digital radar". This seminar is scheduled to take place in Paris 15ème, on 28 November 2007, DGAC, 50 rue Henry Farman.

Theme

Active antennas have introduced new functional capabilities to radar and have provided new ways to exploit antennas for both reception and transmission. The active array antenna is no longer a component whose characteristics are fixed at the design stage but is now a complex sub-system of multiple parts, separately configurable. For example, it can be used to generate complex transmission waveforms across frequency and direction for spatial analysis of the search volume. In reception it provides the prospect of space-time broad-band processing.

The seminar will include presentations that will introduce the subject, including its historical evolution to applications in ever more radar domains. There will be overviews of what presently exists in radars (naval, ground, airborne and space), the technological issues for different radar applications and future evolutions.

This seminar should be of interest to those involved in the design and manufacture of radar and academic researchers. Topics include:
- Review of some existing development of ground, naval, airborne and space AESA
- New semiconductor technologies for AESA: GaN, SiC and diamond
- Digital radar architectures
- New Antenna architectures
- Digital Beam Forming (DBF) antenna processing, multi channel processing including STAP
- Reliability of AESA Radar, feed back from existing programs in progress
