The proposed PhD topic is related to digital antenna and system architecture design required for modern radar systems. The topic was chosen in collaboration with Leonardo UK according to the industrial requirements. The main focus of the PhD will be to design a digital antenna for radar applications and investigate digital-based beamforming as well as RF system architecture design and test. Other research topics include grating lobe mitigation, sub-array processing/calibrations, efficient aperture illumination as well as implementation and testing with the relevant digital hardware and antenna arrays.The topics of antenna radar calibrations, the related signal processing approaches and the supporting hardware/software, are fundamentally linked to said radar design and system operation. The PhD will also investigate efficient strategies for periodic calibrations and self-calibrations which can enable simple approaches that can be applied in-field and in the factory setting, while also, complimenting existing calibration procedures. Considerations will also be made for sense-check techniques on the transmit/receive modules to understand if any calibrations are required for the antenna array system whilst in the field.

拟议的博士主题与现代雷达系统所需的数字天线和系统架构设计有关。该主题是根据工业要求与英国Leonardo UK合作选择的。博士学位的主要重点是设计用于雷达应用的数字天线，并研究基于数字的光束形成以及RF系统体系结构设计和测试。其他研究主题包括缓解栅栏，子阵列处理/校准，有效的孔径照明以及相关的数字硬件和天线阵列的实施和测试。天线雷达校准的主题，相关的信号处理方法以及支撑硬件/支撑硬件/支持硬件/软件从根本上与上述雷达设计和系统操作有关。博士还将研究有效的策略，以实现定期校准和自校准，这些策略可以实现可以在现场和工厂环境中应用的简单方法，同时还可以补充现有的校准程序。还将在发射/接收模块上使用有意义的检查技术进行考虑，以了解在现场时天线阵列系统是否需要进行任何校准。
