Distributed Architecture For Phased-Array Antennas
Abstract
Distributed Architecture for Phased Array Antennas (DISTAR) computer program simulation tool used to study implementation of distributed phased-array equipment. Allows placement of possibly-faulty transmitting/receiving modules at locations throughout array. Variations in amplifiers and phase shifters degrades performance of antenna, depending on environmental conditions and array architecture. Enables antenna designer to examine characteristics of array and how they affect both types and extents of antenna failures. General specifications for amplifier and phase-shifter tolerances determined for various architectures. Written in FORTRAN 77.
