BALAYAGE ELECTRONIQUE PASSIF [5 records]

Record 1 2024-01-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
DEF

... a solid state system in which all the antenna elements are connected to a single transmitter/receiver and [that] uses phase shifter modules to selectively delay certain parts of the signal, while allowing others to transmit without delay.

CONT

One radar that has gained popularity due to its ability to scan a large field of view is the phased array radar (PAR). [One] traditional PAR [is] known as a passive electronically scanned array (PESA). In the PESA, a single transmitter generates a high-powered signal that is transmitted through individual antenna elements. Each transmit element has an associated computer-controlled phase shifter ... that creates a directional beam by adding a phase shift to the signal from each element. The narrow beam is sequentially steered through the field of view by changing the phase at each element.

CONT

Un radar qui a gagné en popularité en raison de sa capacité à balayer un grand champ de vision est le radar à commande de phase. [...] un radar à commande de phase traditionnelle [est appelé] ensemble passif de balayage électronique(PESA). Dans le PESA, un seul émetteur génère un signal de grande puissance qui est transmis par des éléments d’antenne individuels. Chaque élément d’émission est associé à un déphaseur [...] commandé par ordinateur qui crée un faisceau directionnel en ajoutant un décalage de phase au signal de chaque élément. Le faisceau étroit est dirigé séquentiellement à travers le champ de vision en changeant la phase à chaque élément.

Record 3 2000-09-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
DEF

[A phased-array antenna] with adjustable phase shifters operating under computer control, [so that] the beam can be scanned in azimuth or elevation without mechanical movement.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
DEF

Antenne à faisceau orientable dont le faisceau balaie régulièrement un certain secteur de l’espace.

OBS

antenne à balayage; antenne à balayage électronique : termes normalisés par l’AFNOR.

PHR

Antenne à balayage électronique passif.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operations (Air Forces)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry
CONT

Known as the RBE2, it is based on French "Radant" electronic scanning technology and will be able to track up to eight targets simultaneously and provide automatic threat assessment and classification.

Key term(s)
  • technologie de balayage électronique

  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
CONT

Développé par Thomson-CSF et Dassault Electronique, ce radar RBE2 utilise la technologie française «Radant» de balayage électronique.

PHR

Balayage électronique de type actif; passif.

Record 5 1994-09-21

English

Subject field(s)
  • Radar, Radio Guidance and Goniometry

French

Domaine(s)
  • Radar, radioguidage et radiogoniométrie
CONT

Toutes les améliorations citées précédemment sont à mettre à l'actif du balayage électronique. Cette technique ne nécessite pas de modules émetteurs-récepteurs à l'état solide, mais simplement des modules de déphasage. Dans ce cas, le balayage électronique est dit passif.
