Management of deformable active antenna

Radar systems on ground and naval basements require an improvement of flexibility to provide low cost solutions with better tactical deployment and to open new capacities for implementation. We propose to dynamically cope with distortions of radiating panels with an innovative method based on an accurate mechanical modelling under different load scenarii. In conjunction with either auto-calibration algorithms or instrumented technique, our method allows to recover high quality radiating patterns and to preserve radar system performances.
