Phased-Arrays and Radar: Advances and Breakthroughs

---

Covered will be recent developments and breakthroughs in Active Electronically Steered Arrays (AESAs) and radar including Extreme MMIC, graphene, digital beam forming (DBF, including LM space fence radar with element level DBF having 172K A/Ds). Potential continuation of Moore’s Law: 1. via Spintronics - which could revolutionize computer architecture away from John von Neumann model, 2. viaMemristor–which potentially allows one to do what mouse brain does in a shoe box instead of a computer the size of a city requiring a nuclear power plants, 3. via Graphene which has potential for Thz clock speed transistors, or 4. via Quantum Computing - which has the potential of orders of magnitude advance in computation power per 2 years. New Kymeta Metamaterial Antenna finally explained in simple terms. Also cover PARC (A Xerox Co.) and Echodyne matmaterial antnnas. MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output):Explained in simple physical terms instead of with heavy math; where it makes sense to use and how conventional arrays can do as well. Printed Electronics: Low cost 1.6 GHz printed diodes achieved (goal 2.4 GHz). Has potential for revolutionary low cost microwave electronics.  Electrical andOptical Signals on Same Chip;IR transparent in silicon. Biodegradable Arrays of Transistors or LEDs:Imbedded under skin for detecting cancer or low glucose.Quantum Radar: See stealth targets. Will include latest Photos from Travels to Ukraine, Turkey, China, Israel and Dubai. Talk given so that lay person can also appreciate it.
