Abstract :
A novel multifunction phased array radar is introduced, characterized by conformal arrays, extensive usage of digital beam forming and separation between Tx and Rx arrays. Some significant design trade-off and radar operating aspects are described, including the radar management and scheduling, showing the main differences with respect to the classical, four faces phased array multifunction radar architecture.
