| Abstract: | For many applications, existing phased arrays prove to be costly, bulky and not flexible enough to meet operational requirements. This explains the present trends towards monolithic array design; integration of microwave front end; and beam-forming by using digital signal processing (DSP) techniques. This paper discusses a phased array direction finder based on programmable digital signal processing microdevices, whereby the basic task of beam scanning is carried out by digitally processing the down-converted antenna signals. |
