Abstract
In this paper, we present the performance and the experimental results of the adaptive beamformer in the radar system with the planar active array. The study of the adaptive beamformer has already been performed in several literatures, but it is difficult to find the results or examples those are implemented in the actual radar system. Here we employ the adaptive beamformer to the practical radar system with subarray architecture. The performance of beamformer will be demonstrated by modeling and simulation and finally the far-field experimental results.
