Abstract

In this paper, the development requirements and challenges of phased array radar design are discussed. A new architecture of phased array radar based on microwave photonic technology is proposed, and its technical advantages are explained. Aiming for applications in engineering practice, the main scientific problems and major technical challenges currently faced are concisely presented from the aspects of their core components, basic transmission links, various processing units, and overall systems. The road map of follow-up research work is given and the future development in this field is finally prospected.
