Graduate Courses
ECE 5973: Phased Array Antenna
Semester: Fall
Graduate course will provide the basic knowledge and the most important design trade-offs of phased array antennas that are used for civil and military applications. This class will put emphasis on the critical evaluation of the performance of phased array antenna systems, especially for atmospheric applications. Factors that are important for high-performance radar and communication systems, such as scanning performance, phased array antenna architectures, feed-networks, mutual coupling, infinite and finite active arrays, T/R modules and technologies, multibeam arrays, adaptive arrays and sidelobe cancellers, will be introduced.

Welcome to the Phased Array Antenna Research and Development Group (PAARD) webpage. PAARD's research specializes in active phased array antenna design and radar calibration. Our research group puts the emphasis on high performance antenna arrays for radar applications for microwave and mmWave. bands. Low-profile and low-cost active array antennas in brick and tile architectures using the latest technology in CMOS and GaN are under development for conventional and new radar architectures for multifunction radar systems. The PAARD is housed at the Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) and in the College of Electrical and Computer Engineering of The University of Oklahoma.

As mist becomes fog, the mice begin to scurry towards the tall, yellowing grass just as denial seeps into humanity. As such, the most significant challenge usually comes from the individuals that form society themselves when they refuse to see that a problem exists in the first place.

Congratulations to the two new Doctors.
There is nothing more satisfying for a professor than to see their students turn their dreams into reality. Please join me in congratulating Nim Ccoillo Ramos and Antonio (Tony) Segalés for their successful Ph.D. defense. Both of you did an amazing job. Congratulations Dr. Segalés and Dr. Ccoillo! I am very proud of both of you.
