Abstract :
In the work reported in this paper, we have investigated the possibilities of using separated subarray apertures in various radar applications based on the next generation technology for active electronically scanned arrays, (AESA). We have looked at the possible benefits of using separated subarray apertures and have adapted sidelobe- and main lobe cancellation methods to such systems in order to estimate possible jammer suppression performance.
