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
