Load-Based Beam Operating Algorithm Design and Analysis of Test Results for the AESA Radar Interleaved Mode

The interleaved mode has the effect of operating multiple modes simultaneously by operating two or more single modes in a time division using the agile beam steering capability of the AESA(active electronically scanned array) radar. During the air-to-ground/sea mode operation, the air-to-air mode is simultaneously operated for quick recognition and response to air threat targets. In this study, the processing unit was set differently according to the mode for an efficient interleaved mode. It is the design of the load-based beam operating algorithm that can maintain proper performance by designing to maintain a constant load. The resource usage of the proposed and existing algorithms was compared, and the flight test results were analyzed to verify the algorithm.
