This overcomes the limitations of single radars, enabling extended apertures and new multistatic sensing geometries. Applications are manifold, ranging from network-based direction of arrival (DoA) estimation to bi-/multistatic synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and joint communication and sensing (JCAS). In recent years, this has led to significant research interest and the design of a wide range of radar networks and synchronization concepts. This paper introduces a unified terminology and a general signal model applicable to radar networks and bistatic radars. Building on this model, this work provides a detailed review of the main sources of synchronization errors and their impact on radar signal processing. The paper further surveys and categorizes synchronization strategies proposed in the literature to address these errors. It thereby enables both a structured comparison of current radar networks and the design of novel network and synchronization concepts for emerging applications. To illustrate the potential of these approaches, three applications are presented in detail: a novel DoA estimation strategy for distributed radar networks, UAV-borne bistatic SAR, and JCAS.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"6 4","pages":"852-873"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11536065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148452035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to the equivalence principle, the antenna aperture and the insulation layer are treated as secondary radiation sources, effectively overcoming the analytical challenges posed by complex radome systems containing insulation layers. Furthermore, an adaptive recursive discretization strategy is employed to dynamically adjust the discretization granularity of the antenna aperture and equivalent sources based on far-field approximation conditions. This ensures strict adherence to computational accuracy while minimizing the computational load. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an optimal balance between accuracy and efficiency. Compared with the conventional AI-SI method, the proposed method drastically reduces the root mean square error (RMSE) of the boresight error (BSE) from 2.8723 mrad to 0.8500 mrad. In comparison with CST full-wave simulation results, the average relative error (ARE) of transmission efficiency is only 0.1110%, and the predicted variation trend of the boresight error exhibits high consistency with full-wave results. This method significantly enhances computational speed while providing high-precision analysis, making it highly suitable for the initial rapid design and optimization of radomes.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"6 4","pages":"953-963"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11559265","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148451902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The GNMP model uses a structure with simultaneous fading of memory depth and relative memory width. This paper proposes the concepts of “memory width” and “relative memory width” based on the close relationship between cross-terms and memory effect in Volterra basis functions. The memory width compensates for the shortcoming of using only the memory depth to describe the memory effect while avoiding the performance bottleneck caused by the fixed cross-term form. The even-order basis function is also introduced to improve the performance of the behavioral model with a further simplified form. The structural features of the GNMP model allow for more freedom in static nonlinearity and dynamic memory effect, making it superior in modeling and linearizing PAs with complex characteristics. Experimental tests on two different PAs show that the proposed GNMP model can achieve almost the same or better performance than the traditional model for the same complexity. More importantly, at an acceptable complexity, the GNMP model can further break the performance bottleneck of the traditional model by a few dB of typical metrics.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"6 4","pages":"1087-1101"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11594848","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148451922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is composed of a power divider, two PIVGAs, and a quadrature hybrid coupler. The quadrature hybrid coupler is employed to accomplish power-domain vector summing, and the loading effects caused by the PIVGAs are effectively suppressed due to its high input port isolation. The gain and phase errors induced by the mismatches between the real and imaginary parts of the output impedance of PIVGAs are around 1% and 50% of that of the conventional current-combining structures. The proposed novel PIVGA incorporates a phase compensation capacitor to reshape its additional phase shift curve, and thus enhances the phase shift accuracy while simplifying the phase control process via half-quadrant control. Meanwhile, it exhibits minimized variations in its input and output impedances, reducing the mismatches in vector summing process. The proposed phase shifter is fabricated in 0.13 μm SiGe BiCMOS process with a core area of 585 × 400 μm<sup>2</sup>. The measurement results show that the proposed phase shifter consumes a DC power of 9 mW and achieves a peak average gain of 1.66 dB at 92 GHz, RMS gain error of 0.44∼0.78 dB, and RMS phase error of 1.06°∼2.5° within the operating band of 87.4∼101.2 GHz.

Comprising hundreds or even thousands of radiating elements, these arrays enable high beamforming gain, spatial multiplexing, and improved signal-to-noise ratio—capabilities essential for emerging applications such as 5G/6G communications, automotive radar, satellite communications (SATCOM), and high-resolution imaging. Despite their immense potential, the realization of large arrays poses critical challenges in hardware design, including integration complexity, calibration precision, power efficiency, and system scalability. Addressing these challenges calls for innovations in RF front-end architectures, packaging and interconnect technologies, and intelligent control algorithms. This paper presents a comprehensive review of large-array hardware, organized around integration levels, RF front-end design approaches, and application domains. We examine state-of-the-art architectures with a focus on RF efficiency, beamforming accuracy, and calibration techniques. Key enabling technologies—such as antenna-in-package (AiP) solutions, photonic integration, and metasurface-based implementations—are discussed in depth. In addition, we highlight software-driven aspects, including adaptive beamforming and resource management strategies. The paper also surveys recent demonstrators and practical systems from both academia and industry. Finally, we identify open challenges and outline promising research directions toward the realization of cognitive integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) hardware platforms.","PeriodicalId":93296,"journal":{"name":"IEEE journal of microwaves","volume":"6 4","pages":"803-829"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11593935","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148454011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
