摘要: The shared aperture antenna, an effective and versatile radar front-end design strategy based on deploying interleaved sub-arrays a common aperture, is discussed. A number of instantiations this concept, demonstrating multi-functionality polarisation agility capabilities, described in detail. Some limitations concept are singled out, measures to counteract them put forward.
