Electronic jamming of AESA radars is impossible. Normally, radar jamming is accomplished by determining the frequency of a target radar and sending out a signal with the same frequency. But, engineers developed a way to counter jamming by using pulsed radar, which can change its frequency with each pulse. It is much harder to jam radars than other types because of the distribution of frequencies within a narrow band.
X-Band
The Ural class destroyers are equipped with Type 346B AESA dual-band radar complex Type 346B. This is the heartbeat of the advanced combat intelligence and control system. It is identical to the Aegis Radar. Moreover, the radar is linked to the fire-control system. It is currently not clear how far it can detect AWACS. However, it will be useful against L-band radars and VLO target.
The Russian government has collaborated with the Aesa Agency to develop the new radar. It will also be able to detect and track ICBMs in the X-Band. The main advantage of this radar is its high-definition resolution. It can detect up 50,000 targets simultaneously. This makes it even more effective than THAAD radar.
Ku-Band
AESA radar is an airborne, synthetic aperture radar. It is used in airborne SAR applications. The AESA radar KuBand is a low cost, multifunctional radar that meets the requirements of UAVs. AESA radar was created with rapid prototyping as its goal. This paper will present its design and build and focus on minimizing its costs.
Ku-Band, unlike traditional radar systems provides high resolution images. Operators can take swift actions to eliminate threat targets. It can also act as a sendry, allowing troops to quickly find cover in a "sense–and-warn" mission.
AESA radar can also detect targets within 50km of its base frequency. The Russian space program has validated its performance through a variety of studies. However, the design for an AESA radar needs to be improved to meet operational demands. It is possible to adapt an existing pulse Doppler radio. It can also be used to power the L-band AESA.
MAKS 2009 imagery shows the basic AESA-radar array design. The images also show how they work with the leading edges flap structure. Each array contains twelve antenna elements. Each quad TR module has four antenna elements. The array is embedded within a leading edge flap's edge. The array is protected with a dielectricradome.
