Abstract :
This paper presents a background and an overview of the initial design considerations for phased array antenna being designed for the New Generation multi-static, incoherent-scatter radar station - EISCAT_3D - in Northern Scandinavia. Its anticipated electrical, mechanical and environmental design requirements are given both by the physics as well as by the extreme climate in the subarctic region of northern Scandinavia.
