  • Abstract
    The concept of reconfigurable, multiple beam antenna arrays is discussed as a likely step in the development of future airborne radar systems. The system advantages of reconfigurable multiple beams are explored in terms of airborne tactical radars and their application. Implementation and design issues associated with a reconfigurable, multiple beam antenna array are discussed. A reconfigurable subarray approach is postulated as the most advantageous architecture
