Abstract

See full text

A phased array radar antenna uses time-steering subarray notch weightings to produce a wideband notch in the direction of interference for Electronic-Counter-Measure (ECM) interference suppression. A predetermined set of subarray notch weightings, each set being identical for each subarray, is stored in controllers each of which is coupled to a plurality of phase shifters and attenuators for feeding radiating elements of the antenna. Interference suppressors operate from a plurality of controllers to produce a subarray pattern having a notch in the direction of interference. Beamformers then combine outputs of all time-steering subarrays in the antenna so as to produce an antenna pattern having a wideband notch in the direction of interference.
