Abstract
The US Naval Weapons Center (NWC) X-band active array system was created for the purpose of exploring active array system technology. Among the key features of the NWC Active Array Demonstration Unit (AADU) is the inclusion of a microprocessor behind each of the forty elements in the array. With the ability to do processing at the element level, the AADU has flexibility for investigating a variety of distributed beam control techniques. The calibration, beam control, system interfacing, and system speed of the AADU are examined.<>
