Abstract :
The US Army Missile Command has conducted experiments on a two-dimensional, C-band, digital beamforming (DBF) array. The 8 /spl times/ 8 array has been tested both as a traditional DBF array and as a feed for a larger microwave lens. The multiple beam capability and flexibility in the beamforming process were demonstrated for both the conventional planar and the space fed configurations during tests on the prototype DBF hardware.<>
