Abstract :
The research results of the experimental phased array transmitting antenna (ELAN 25) are discussed. The main point of view besides the radar-technical one has been the search for a more economic system configuration. To install a minimum of RF-power and to relax the specifications of the components by using a self-correcting system are the most promising steps towards efficiency improvement.
