Progress of phased array systems in Japan

This paper reviews the research and development on the phased array antennas (PAAs) for several applications in Japan. First, the author shows the historical overview of the PAA for radar, satellite and mobile communication uses. Then, the author introduces a millimeter-wave PAA, an optical beam forming, and an ultra wideband antenna element as modern applications of PAA systems.
