US Patent 11121462 Passive electronically scanned array (PESA)

A passive electronically scanned array in a number of phases. Initially, the array system configuration is determined followed by sizing the array, designing, building, and testing a 1D lens, and designing, building, and testing a 1×N switch network. This is followed by building and testing the array with associated 1D lenses, and integrating and testing switch networks connected to each lens in array. This is followed by design, build, test, and integration of the orthogonal switch matrix that connects to all of the lens switch matrixes, and system integration.
