Analog Devices Targets Commercial Market for ADAR1000
The chip will make phased-array radar and communications systems smaller and lighter, says the manufacturer.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) has designed a microprocessor that will allow manufacturers to reduce the size and weight of phased-array radar and communications systems, with commercial aircraft viewed as a major target market. Business aircraft could also benefit from phased-array antennas, as they take up less space compared to mechanically steered satellite communications antennas and thus could facilitate satcom installations on smaller business jets and turboprops.
