Phased Array Radar - how does it work? See here!

Hey Folks,

in the advent of new modern DCS models we might find more discussions about modern radar technique and it's capabilities.

So - what are the basics? You know about RADAR in principle - but what the heck is this phased array radar, how does it work?

At least that I for myself questioned g...gle/Utoobe ( :) )

and found these cool video's I like to share with you:

Short and very nice:

And the more in depth geek version (it even has mathematical formulas in it - be warned :) - some commercial, too...)

There is of course a lot more stuff on tube and in the net, but I thought I share these two.

Now simulate this for a consumer flight sim... I bow my head to eagle dynamics!

Best regards,

Hek

Interesting, thank you!

Pretty nice. If one wants to dig a little more into specifics without going into reference books, radartutorial.eu is rather fine little site as well.
