DESCRIPTION:Single-platform phased arrays currently dominate wireless syste
 ms\, whether they be the handheld 4G/5G cell phone you’re carrying right
  now\, or large radar systems and satellites. Single-platform phased array
 s traditionally use an analog feed network to distribute signals between t
 he antenna elements and a single centralized transceiver\; improving perfo
 rmance entails a redesign or retrofit. In contrast\, a distributed phased 
 array consists of a number of separate wireless nodes where each antenna e
 lement is connected to a separate transceiver\; signals can be coherently 
 transmitted to enable beamforming and/or coprocessed on receive to coheren
 tly form beams digitally. With beamforming\, distributed phased arrays ove
 rcome the limitations of single-platform-centric phased array wireless sys
 tems by disaggregating the functionality of large wireless systems into an
  array of smaller\, cheaper nodes that are wirelessly coordinated and prov
 ide these benefits: enhanced signal gain\, increased reliability\, scalabi
 lity\, adaptability\, greater spatial diversity (better SNR\, think less c
 ell phone fading!). Come hear this broad overview presentation introducing
  distributed phased arrays that will affect all forms of wireless communic
 ation\, including the potential microwave system solutions to the challeng
 es of implementing a practical distributed phased array undergoing real-wo
 rld dynamics. This free talk is intended for both a general IEEE audience 
 and MTT/AP Society members\; all are welcome. (IEEE events are open to all
