Abstract

Configurable Phased Array Demonstrator (CPAD) was developed since 2010 for the scalable verification and risk mitigation of the Multi-Function Phased Array Radar (MPAR) at sub-array level. This work reviews the basic concepts and solutions of CPAD and focuses on the development of a single linear array and multiple planned experiments of CPAD, to support the development of future Cylindrical Polarimetric Phased Array Radar (CPPAR). The paper describes several new developments related to CPAD: (1) Dual-polarized linear array as a column of a new CPPAR, (2) Scalable validation through laboratory measurements at different frequencies, (3) Virtual array through rotating platform, (4) Passive sensing with coordination of remote transmitters.
