Program Overview: What is Phased - Array Radar Systems Engineering?
Phased - Array Radar Systems Engineering is Edstellar's instructor-led program for engineers designing radar systems with phased array technology. Participants cover antenna theory and array fundamentals, T/R modules and AESA architecture, beamforming and beam steering, radar waveforms and pulse compression, detection and tracking, and system integration. The focus stays on radar systems that meet requirements.
Across 28 hours, participants work real radar design problems: beamforming calculations, waveform selection, and detection trade studies with instructor review. Calibration and array architecture are explored through guided exercises, and adaptive signal processing is practiced on representative datasets. System integration modules run requirement trade studies, and the program closes with a phased-array radar system design review.
Radar programs overrun when architecture trades are deferred: beamforming choices made late, waveforms that do not meet detection needs, integration surprises. This program teaches engineers to run the design trades up front, from array architecture to signal processing, so the system design holds together at integration.
The closing design review is the capstone: each team presents their phased-array radar system architecture, defending beamforming, waveform, and detection choices against instructor challenge the way a real program review does. Surviving that critique is what makes the architecture real, and participants carry that rigor into their actual programs.
Phased-array programs fail when array physics, signal processing, and system integration are treated as separate disciplines. This program gives RF, antenna, signal processing, and systems engineers a working command of array factor synthesis, grating lobe and sidelobe control, AESA architectures, waveform trade-offs, CFAR detection, STAP, calibration methods, and requirements-driven design. Labs use realistic array configurations so teams return able to design, analyze, and test phased-array radar systems with confidence.
