ARCON Engineers are experts in using visualization and computer aided design (CAD) techniques in conjunction with electromagnetic analysis computer programs. We have also performed in-depth analysis of the impact of inter-element coupling in antenna arrays for minimization of mutual coupling.

We are at the forefront of research into electromagnetic propagation using multiple grids with unequal periodicities. We have developed techniques for the real time implementation of simultaneous, complementary clutter in moving radar systems. We also developed a software for the development of radar signal simulation and tactical radar design.

ARCON has maintained a strong capability in the field of Electromagnetic analysis, modeling and simulation for over 29 years. We have extensively worked on ground based radar system design modification for improving the accuracy. Our engineers are experts in using visualization and computer aided design (CAD) techniques in conjunction with electromagnetic analysis software. This enable us to contribute significantly to the research and development of radar technology.

Full-dimension Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) for the detection of small moving targets embedded in non-stationary, heterogeneous clutter scenarios is an important component of ARCON’s capability in the Electromagnetics and Radar Technology field. STAP techniques and their application are generally synonymous with long CPU run times, and data collection necessary for implementation of STAP imposes huge storage capability demands. At ARCON Corporation, we have developed STAP algorithms, written STAP programs and have the experience and expertise to perform STAP modeling and simulation calculations.

ARCON personnel have developed several antenna design algorithms and application programs based on these algorithms. One example is a computer program that facilitates the processing and analysis of NEC4 electromagnetics input and output files.  The usefulness of this code is independent of the particular problem, and it is widely used by researchers at AFRL/Hanscom AFB.

Another example of ARCON innovative antenna research activity is the development and application of neural network techniques for adapting phased arrays to conditions where system functions are degraded or unknown.
