  • Phased array antenna having assignment based control and related techniques
    Patent number: 9026161
    Abstract: Disclosed subject matter relates to techniques for allowing multiple transmit/receive assignments to share antenna resources in an efficient manner. The techniques may be used with, for example, transmit/receive assignments that are non-deterministic in nature. In some implementations, transmit/receive assignments each have a corresponding priority value. Transmit/receive assignments are permitted to contend for available antenna resources based, at least in part, on priority.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 19, 2012
    Date of Patent: May 5, 2015
    Assignee: Raytheon Company
