Indian AESA Radar Developments
- Thread starter ni8mare
- Start date
Body flush antennas are used in low observable flying bodies(stealth fighters, drones, missiles etc) instead of traditional antennas as a RCS reduction method. Check post #61, #66, #67 and #68 on page no 4 of this thread.

DRDO has invested a lot of money in gallium nitride MMIC development projects and there are plans to set up a state of the art GaN foundry at IISc. It's likely that TR modules of AMCA's radar will use GaN-based solid-state RF amplifiers. GaN MMIC combined with latest LNA tech

will greatly enhance the detection range (greater than 200km for a 1sqm RCS target). It also eliminates the requirement of a liquid coolant circulation based cooling system. Existing radars in IAF service use traveling wave tube amplifier and slotted waveguide antenna
The bandwidth of these radars is relatively narrow (600-800MHz). More advanced radars such as Uttam and EL/M-2052 have a much wider bandwidth (1-3GHz). A wideband radar using TSA radiating element may have a bandwidth no less than 5 GHz and an enhanced probability of detection
classification and it's much more difficult to jam. The associated wideband/multi-channel MMIC is however very complex and expensive. It is in an early development stage and the technology in question is futuristic. If this radar tech indeed goes to the AMCA,

That's why I've been posting such videos. So that you & especially @Ashwin take inspiration, make yourself useful during the quarantine , create & post videos with precise information. Something that even habitual nitpickers in this & other forums would have no issues with, much to their discomfort.
