Abstract
This paper reports on the analysis of technologies opening avenues for potential technological breakthroughs in phased array antennas. We will report on recent results on the insertion of hardware technologies such as RF MEMS and RF Photonics, in the front end of phased array antennas. Future prospects for the insertion of nanotechnologies will be also presented.
