Abstract :
This paper describes the X-band Phase-Tilt Radar antenna array being developed at the Engineering Research Center for the Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA) for use in distributed, collaborative and adaptive sensing (DCAS) networks. The architecture of the radar and its component parts including the T/R module, passive antenna elements, and array controller are described in detail. Test data for the full array will be presented in the final paper.
