Space-based radar places significant demands on the spacecraft resources (mass, power, data rate) and is therefore very expensive to implement. These systems typically require active phased-array antennas with hundreds or thousands of Transmit/Receive (TIR) modules distributed on the array. Highefficiency is a vitally important figure of merit for the radar T/R module because it reduces the pow...

Radiofrequency (RF) coil phased arrays are getting more and more important for accelerating the imaging speed and for gaining better signal to noise ratio (SNR) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The approach is conceptually similar to phased array used in radar techniques hence it is used to be called MRI phased array coils. To get maximum benefits from this technique, coil and preamp decoup...

The purpose of the phased array beamforming project [1], [2] is to develop a generic flexible efficient phased array receiver platform, using a mixed signal hardware/software-codesign approach. The results will be applicable to any radio (RF) system, but we will focus on satellite receiver (DVB-S) and radar applications. We will present a preliminary mapping of beamforming processing on a tiled...
