What is a planar array?

  • A.An array mounted on a curved surface such as a fuselage
  • B.An array whose elements are printed on a circuit board
  • C.Elements arranged in a two dimensional grid in one plane
  • D.An array of elements all lying along a single straight line

Answer: C

A planar array places elements on a rectangular or triangular lattice in a plane, giving control of the beam in both azimuth and elevation. A linear array controls only one plane, a conformal array follows a curved surface, and printing on a board is a construction technique that any of these might use. The triangular lattice is often preferred because it needs about thirteen per cent fewer elements for the same grating lobe free scan volume. A single measurement chosen to respond to the one asymmetry beats several that respond to shared behaviour.
