## 2016 International Summer School of Phased Array Radar

## 2-8 July 2016, Delft, the Netherlands

While in a classical radar system a parabolic
antenna is used to determine targets azimuth and elevation coordinates
and antenna rotation is used for area surveillance, majority of modern
and future radar systems (active) phased arrays are used for generation
of multiple beams, which can be scanned by purely electronic means.
Extension of typical application areas of phased arrays radars from
military domain to remote sensing, automotive, air-traffic control,
and weather surveillance areas drastically increase demand in specialists
who understand phased-array radar operation. Understanding of phased
array radar operation requires multi-disciplinary approach, which is
based on antenna array theory, microwave circuit theory and signal
processing. The school addresses this challenge and provides integral
approach to the phased array radars.

At the school the phased array radar basics will
be considered from antenna, RF technology and signal processing points
of view. The main part of the course will be followed by a deepening
part with three specializations: antenna systems, T/R modules and
signal processing. Surveillance and tracking applications will be
discussed. The lectures will be complemented with practical exercises
and experiments. The course will be finished with a group project,
which will be evaluated by a committee of radar professionals.

The Summer School has been successfully started in 2016 with 28
participants. We have plans to organize this event annually.
If you are interested to attend the School within coming year - contact
