Abstract :
Modern phased array antennas in radar systems are composed of several thousands of transmit/receive modules (TRM). Performance of radars are strongly related to the correct functioning of the control chain for such modules. It is therefore fundamental to perform diagnostic and monitoring of main characteristics of active array components; in this way, system performance may be checked and, if necessary, suitable actions to guarantee them may be actuated.
