ASAR
(Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar)

ASAR transmit tile

ASAR Transmit tile ready for radiation testing. The ASAR antenna is composed of 20 such tiles, each tile is composed of 16 horizontal radiating rows, each connected to a transmit/receive module. Therefore the ASAR antenna operates with 320 transmit/receive modules controlled in amplitude and phase to provide the ASAR electronic steered beam
