The Defense Innovation Unit has awarded at least two contracts to build prototype phased array antennas which are capable of connecting with multiple satellites simultaneously. (Lockheed Martin image) ...

For some applications single element antennas are unable to meet the gain or radiation pattern requirements. Combining several single antenna elements in an array can be a possible solution. This ...

Beamforming, based on multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) phased-array antennas, looks to make up a component part of the overall 5G cellular technology. While phased-arrays have been the basis of ...

In Part 1, we introduced the phased array concept, beam steering and array gain. In Part 2, we presented the concept of grating lobes and beam squint. In this section, we begin with a discussion of ...

This is the second article of our three-part series on phased array antenna patterns. In Part 1, we introduced the phased array steering concept and looked at the influencers on array gain. In Part 2, ...

Lockheed Martin and Ball Aerospace in August 2020 completed a phased array transmit test for a Multi-Band, Multi-Mission antenna. Credit: Ball Aerospace WASHINGTON – In a test this summer at Schriever ...

Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. has delivered four phased array antennas to Lockheed Martin and NASA’s Kennedy Space Center for the inaugural test flight of the Orion spacecraft. The Ball-built ...

The normal buyers of Phased Array satellite antennas are usually the military or public-service operators, or aircraft, train or bus operators. Their budgets can afford the thousands of dollars for a ...
