Hey phased array radar, like what’s used on Aegis cruisers, fuck yeah. Beam steering works pretty well on WiFi routers that use it, so the phase modulation is pretty inherent to that use (or not). LIDAR = RADAR but with lazurz yo, and that shit’s trés cool. Damn tech can be fun!

Soooooo 🥹 when calculating voltage drops on our elevation maps? -squee-

Hey guys, is this the phased array radar thread? Sweeeeet

It's all about frequency, frequency, frequency.

Also, I hadn't heard the term "beam steering" before, I was only familiar with beamforming, it is however the coolest shit ever.

anyone who doesn't think beamforming is the coolest shit should just go do office work until they cark it because they're painfully boring

it's basically magic

Beam steering is the reason why Samsung antennas are so powerful yet have low SAR ratings at the same time.

Feel free to infodump. This sounds interesting.

Yooo I love this stuff. Too bad I ended up working in another field entirely

phased array radars are the shit.
