What Are Phased Arrays?

  • This video introduces the concept of phased arrays. An array refers to multiple sensors, arranged in some configuration, that act together to produce a desired sensor pattern. With a phased array, we can electronically steer that pattern without having to physically move the array simply by adjusting the phase of the signals to each individual element.
    Commonly, an array is made up of antennas like for wireless communication and radar, but the general concept can be applied to different elements as long as they measure or emit waves. For example, a speaker and microphone array that is used for sonar and acoustic imaging is a type of phased array. In each of these applications, we have to form a beam and we have to be able to move that beam around. And we can do that with phased array systems.

    This was an EXCELLENT video! I am an antenna engineer and I wish I had seen this video back in graduate school. I couldn't visualize all the math back then but this video shows so much of the complex math in about 17 minutes. Well done sir.

    does all of this still hold if i'm sampling each element one by one? fast, but never at the same time. i'm thinking it might shift the peak around, but what i'd really like to know is if it would work at all. assuming it would, does trying to compensate for the "missing" samples make it worse? on an 8 channel system, one of them is always 7 samples "behind".does sampling them in a random order help or hurt? large microphone arrays are terribly expensive, i've had "make a crap one and see how bad it is" in my todo list for years but i keep imagining things that would make it not work at the price i need the hack to be in. (the pio in the pico made using digital microphones on a large scale easy, i'd expect them to tap out at like 18 microphones per pico, but i'm just guessing)

    • @BrianBDouglas
      @BrianBDouglas 8 місяців тому

      Yep, that time delay would shift the peak around. Here's an audio example that uses time delay to shift the beam: www.mathworks.com/help/phased/ug/acoustic-beamforming-using-a-microphone-array.html#MicrophoneBeamformerExample-3

    The dark lines is where the signal has a high negative absolute value. The signal is low (near zero) between the white and dark strips.

    Hello sir, how to provide unequal distance between antenna elements? Like, its not always 0.5 lambda between all the elements?

    • @BrianBDouglas
      @BrianBDouglas 5 місяців тому +1

      In the sensor array analyzer app? If so, then instead of choosing uniform linear array, choose the arbitrary array and set your elements with any spacing.
