This paper presents the design and implementation of a compact, cost-effective phased array antenna system. It is capable of real-time beam-steering for dynamic target-tracking applications. The system employs a 4$\times$4 rectangular…

We present the results of second epoch simultaneous multifrequency observations of 45 sources out of the 55 in the sample of High Frequency Peakers (HFP) by Dallacasa et al. (2000). Seven of the stellar sources (i.e. 16% of the total number…

Precise frequency and phase synchronization are among the important aspects in a coherent distributed phased array antenna system, and are among the most challenging to achieve for microwave frequencies and above. We propose a high accuracy…

The population of radio-loud stars has to date been studied primarily through either targeted observations of a small number of highly active stars or widefield, single-epoch surveys that cannot easily distinguish stellar emission from…

We characterize three near-field sub-regions for phased array antennas by elaborating on the boundaries {\it Fraunhofer}, {\it radial-focal}, and {\it non-radiating} distances. The {\it Fraunhofer distance} which is the boundary between…

We describe the design and performance of the Engineering Development Array (EDA), which is a low frequency radio telescope comprising 256 dual-polarisation dipole antennas working as a phased-array. The EDA was conceived of, developed, and…

This work presents a concept for the localisation of Lamb waves using a Passive Phased Array (PPA). A Warped Frequency Transformation (WFT) is applied to the acquired signals using numerically determined phase velocity information to…

The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) is the most sensitive ground-based, single-dish radio telescope on Earth. However, the original HI spectra produced by FAST are affected by standing waves. To maximize the…
