Next-Generation Array Architectures for Sensing

Phased arrays antennas technology is characterized by advanced beamforming capabilities like beam steering, beam shaping, reconfigurability and multi‐functionality, which makes it very attractive for nowadays sensing applications. In this context the activities of the members of the ELEDIA Research Center are focused on the development of innovative strategies for the design of sparse, thinned and clustered array architectures within the following applicative scenarios

  • antennas for remote (near‐field, far‐field) sensing
  • multi-function antenna systems
  • adaptive and reconfigurable antennas for broad‐band
  • automotive radars
  • earth observation from space
  • simplified and cost effective architectures
  • beamforming/beam‐steering techniques
  • adaptive arrays for jammers and clutters rejection
