Description
A low cost full 2D electronically scanned W-Band beamforming active imaging system can enable high resolution day/night all weather sensor systems. To meet these demanding requirements, FIRST RF proposes a pragmatic approach using COTS SiGe MMICs and a novel sparse phased array/packaging approach to meet these requirements. FIRST RFs approach leverages existing low cost phased array and scanning MMW sensors for radar and communication systems to meet the portability and robustness required for military environments. The FIRST RF approach will support fast scanning of up to 30 fps and a minimum range of 100m in a small air cooled package.
