Affordable Ka-Band Metamaterial-Based Electronically Scanned Array Radar for Test and Training

The Test and Evaluation community has a need for multiple low-cost high-performance Ka band radars that can be utilized to emulate threat representative systems. Currently the cost of these systems for the above-mentioned usage is prohibited. Advancements in metamaterials and low-cost software solutions show promise in reducing the cost of Ka-Band arrays while maintaining high performance. Metamaterial-based arrays could eliminate expensive transmit/receive modules utilized in traditional AESAs ...
