Description

Low Profile/Conformal Phased Arrays can be adapted to both broadband low-profile operation and narrowband, ultra-low profile operation at frequencies of up to 50 GHz. In either case, ARA’s arrays provide excellent polarization purity and high efficiency over the operating band. The arrays can be used in a static beam configuration or as an active electronically scanned array (AESA).

ARA’s Low Profile, Conformal, Wideband Electronically Steerable Array Technology is scalable and customizable to optimize performance at frequencies of interest from 1-50 GHz. Inexpensive PCB construction permits rapid fabrication and deployment and provides graceful degradation operationally.

Our electronically scanned phased arrays minimize roll-off, functioning efficiently with good RF scan performance up to +- 70 degrees in azimuth. The low profile nature of the arrays reduces the size and weight impact on platforms and enables both conformal and low profile implementations.
