Abstract :
This paper introduces the requirements of naval radar systems from past to present. It describes phased array technologies (digital and analog) that are presently available in the market. Power sources architectures, A/D evolutions, transceiver architecture and system on chip configurations are described as the main technologies at phased array system. The correlation between the various technologies and phased array architectures trends is also discussed.
