Abstract
AESA technology reached a mature technology level and is being adopted by advanced radar programmes. T/R modules are the key enabling technology and cost reduction efforts in this field are in progress. For future applications, GaN, MEMS RF switches and tile type T/R modules are anticipated and will pave the way for conformal and multi-function AESA radar systems.
