ACE Deliverable 2.4-D1 Synthesis of Main Architectures Used in Modular Active Antennas Project Number: FP6-IST 508009 Project Title: Antenna Centre of Excellence Document Type: Deliverable Document Number: FP6-IST 508009/ 2.4-D1 Contractual Date of Delivery: 30 June 2004 Actual Date of Delivery: 28 September 2004 (with cover-page + reviews: 20 Dec. 2004) Workpackage: Mainly WP 2.4-1, but also related to WP 2.4-2 & 2.4-3 Estimated Person Months: 18 Security (PU,PP,RE,CO): PU Nature: R (Deliverable Report) Version: rev D for the main document, complemented with 5 annexed reviews Total Number of Pages: 200 File name: ACE_2.4D1_total.pdf Editors: Joakim Johansson, Gerard Caille Other Participants: J.A. Encinar & L. de Haro; J. Freese, R. Jakoby & J. Wenger; R. Bolt & L. Pettersson; M. Thiel (for reviews) + all institution members of A2.4 activity for inventory (table-appendix B) Abstract As a 1st step for structuring the European Research on Array Antennas, this deliverable D1 presents a clear terminology tree for this antenna category: from passive ones to fully active, the latter using analogue or digital beam-forming with self-adaptive algorithms, via phased arrays using passive controllable devices. According to this taxonomy, 54 array antennas, built by ACE partners, have been classified. The main characteristics are summed up in a large table (appendix B). Typical examples are shown in §4, covering a wide range of various array categories. Modelling tools are presented, and bottlenecks pointed out, providing input for further research work. As complements to the main part, five extensive world-wide “State-of-the-art” reviews are attached: each one explains how array antennas are good answers to the requirements of a given type of Communication (and to a lesser extent: Remote Sensing) System: in Base- Stations, on Satellites, for User Terminals, and in Civil or Defence Radar. Keyword List Active antenna subsystems, phased arrays, beam-forming, beam-steering, control devices, low-noise (LNA) or high-power (HPA) amplifiers.

    RADARES SMART Pablo Macchiavello Poblete* Las unidades necesitan sensores que les permitan conocer y compilar los distintos panoramas. Dentro de estos sensores, la familia de radares 3D SMART ha vivido un auge, siendo utilizada en las más modernas plataformas antiaéreas alrededor del mundo. Novedades del mundo naval Novedades Los radares 3D son dispositivos que se desempeñan determinando demarcación y distancia a un blanco. Además permiten ubicar un contacto en el espacio a través de la determinación de la altura, dando a la posición una dimensión conocida en tres ejes. Este hecho se torna relevante, pues ayuda a efectuar el proceso de investigación y resolver el problema de control de fuego. De igual manera, estos datos pueden ser traspasados a un Radar de Control de Fuego (RCF) a palabra RADAR es un acrónimo del inglés para el guiado de los sistemas de L“Radio Detection And Ranging”. 1 El radar funciona armas del buque. Para poder determinar la altura, apoyado en dos principios básicos de la física: los radares cuentan con una antena que tiene la la reflexión y la definición de velocidad. Las capacidad de rotar en el eje vertical, mecánica ondas cambian de dirección al chocar contra un o electrónicamente, entregando el ángulo de cuerpo al mantenerse el medio de propagación, elevación del contacto. fenómeno conocido como reflexión. Por otro La empresa holandesa Thales Group es la lado, la definición de velocidad corresponde al responsable del desarrollo de los radares 3D cociente entre la distancia recorrida por un cuerpo SMART (Signaal Multibeam Acquisition Radar y el tiempo que le llevó efectuar dicho recorrido.
