Research abstract

This project focuses on the development of a modular, digital phased array antenna that leverages advanced beamforming, innovative manufacturing processes, and high-performance integrated circuit (IC) chips. The antenna provides multi-beam connectivity, size, weight, and power (SWaP) flexibility, enabling high-efficiency communication systems adaptable to a wide range of platforms. Designed for integration into larger networked architectures, the system ensures continuous, resilient communication across multiple satellite constellations and supports real-time situational awareness in contested environments. With its modular, scalable architecture and intelligent data management, the phased array antenna enhances mission-critical communications for defense and other high-demand sectors.
