Phased Array Antennas
Phased Array Antennas are advanced antenna systems that consist of multiple individual antennas, or elements, arranged in a specific pattern. These elements can be electronically controlled to change the direction of the antenna's beam without physically moving the antenna itself. This allows for rapid adjustments in signal direction, making them ideal for applications like radar and telecommunications.
The technology behind phased array antennas relies on the principle of constructive and destructive interference. By varying the phase of the signals emitted from each element, the overall radiation pattern can be shaped and steered. This capability enhances performance in tracking moving targets and improving communication reliability.
