Abstract:The Active Antennas (AESA) technology has dramatically enhanced the operational capability of modern Radars because of much higher performance than the older generations but also in terms of reliability and operational availability. Nevertheless, minimizing production costs and cost of ownership of these systems remains a major industrial challenge. The paper is organized in two parts. The first one deals with improvements achieved so far for reducing the costs and the complexity of industrial testing. In the … Show more
