“…Therefore, the main elements of a broadband group delay can be expressed as linear and parabolic components. Generally, the group delay characteristics of microwave devices follow a parabolic shape [3][4]. Thus in the channel model below, we assume that the group delay characteristic is of a parabolic shape and the amplitude-frequency response is a constant.…”

“…In the case of broadband transmission, since the characteristics of the instruments in the receiver are not ideal, the group delay of the channel is not constant. Usually the group delay near the center frequency of the passband is relatively flat, while at the edge of the passband, the group delay is comparatively steeper [3][4]. Moreover, different antennas have different group delays, which lead to the nonconstant phase differences in the frequency domain.…”

“…능동위상배열안테나장치는 AESA 레이다에서 다수의 TRM(transmit receive module)이 적용되어 송신 신호 증폭, 수신신호 저잡음 증폭, 위상 및 이득을 가변하여 다양한 빔 형성 및 조향이 가능해 다중 모드/다기능으로 동작할 수 있게 한다 [2], [3] . MSA와 PESA에서 사용하는 TWTA (travelling wave tube amplifier)와 같은 단일 송신기 형태 로 송신 신호를 증폭하는 레이다는 높은 동작 전압으로 동작하고 송신기가 고장 발생 시 운용을 할 수 없는 단점 을 보유하고 있어 효율성과 신뢰성이 낮다 [4], [5] . 그러나 AESA의 안테나장치에 사용하는 TRM은 반도체 소자로 적용되어 낮은 동작 전압과 여러 개의 증폭기가 병렬로 결합하기 때문에 일부 증폭기가 고장이 발생하더라도 점 진적 성능 저하(graceful degradation)가 되어 전체 성능에 치명적인 영향을 주지 않고 임무를 수행할 수 있는 장점 을 보유하고 있다 [6] .…”
