Course Objective

Electronically Scanned Arrays (ESA) are antennas that provide controllable, agile, high-gain beams for areas such as radar and communications. Unlike antennas that require a reflector or wave-guide to steer the array beam, ESAs can steer the beam electronically in space without physical movement of the array. Within the scope of the course, the basic theory of ESAs will be explained and their applications in radar and communication systems will be introduced.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To teach the fundamentals of ESAs.
2   To teach sub-array beam forming techniques.
3   To achieve beam optimization.
4   To achieve the electronic trackig of arrays in radar applications.
5   To achieve the electronic trackig of arrays in communication applications.
