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. 4, record 1, English, - passive%20electronically%20scanned%20array

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. 2, record 2, French, - faisceau%20directionnel

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. 1, record 5, French, - balayage%20%C3%A9lectronique%20passif
