Phased array radars also have the ability for the user (i.e., National Weather Service) to direct the radar beam where they want it to go. This, too, translates to faster scan time during severe ...

Phased array radar systems represent a transformative advancement in weather measurement, offering rapid electronic beam steering and high-resolution monitoring of meteorological phenomena.

Phased array radar has been used for weather surveillance and research for the past 20 years. Wes Moody, Communications Specialist at the National Severe Storms Laboratory, says that the lab is ...

The FOX radar system scans an area in front of it for target detection using a phased array antenna. The advantage over existing systems is improving cost-effectiveness while maintaining excellent ...

The new phased array system, also known as the Enhanced AN/TPQ-36 radar, contains T/R modules that Lockheed Martin described as being at the “heart” of the overall system.

Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced a highly integrated, active antenna beamforming chip that allows designers to quickly replace bulky, mechanically steered antenna platforms with a compact, ...

Lee said phased array will likely become the standard for ground-based weather radar, but first it will be installed on NCAR’s C-130 aircraft. The technology itself will get evaluated while ...

BAE Systems says it has successfully completed prototype tests of its Multiple Object Tracking Radar (iMOTR). This is a mobile instrumentation radar that provides radar data on multiple airborne ...

Unlike the mechanical WSR-88D radars, phased array radars are fully digital and “steer” the radar beam electronically. The new radars can scan the skies in roughly 1 minute.
