Phased array systems design

Phased arrays are capable of delivering very flexible and capable performance: optimised beam shaping and sidelobe control, multiple beams, electronic steering etc. However, they are challenging to deliver the performance expected with many potential pitfalls. CEMTL can assist with the whole process and deliver a working product of the antenna plus associated amplifiers to an agreed specification.

Large antennas are often deployed in inhospitable locations, and in any event will be subject to local weather conditions, CEMTL is very experienced in designing to meet appropriate environmental specifications and can ensure your product works reliably.

Designing antenna arrays becomes increasingly challenging as their size grows significantly. Leveraging our advanced numerical simulation tool, capable of accurately predicting complete electromagnetic wave solutions in both near-field and far-field regimes, we offer expert design solutions for arrays of all types and sizes.

This work includes the Electromagnetic modelling of both the antenna element and the overall array; the design of the first stage low noise amplifier and transmit power amplifier, if required. But our services go beyond design, encompassing the fabrication and testing of the arrays we develop for you, ensuring a seamless end-to-end solution.
