Future <strong>Digital</strong> <strong>Array</strong>s<br />
• Lower cost<br />
– panelization of RF + digital<br />
– modular/open architecture<br />
– highly-integrated RF with directconversion/low<br />
IF<br />
– surface mount technology and<br />
plastic packaging<br />
• Advanced functionality<br />
– digital at each element<br />
– distributed transceivers<br />
– self-monitoring of errors<br />
– multiple functions<br />
– dual polarization (<strong>MPAR</strong>)<br />
– More I/O and processing BW<br />
