Simultaneous transmit and receive (STAR) systems require high isolation between the transmitter and receiver to avoid self-interference. Antenna isolation degradation stems from errors in the physical construction and beamformer design, as well as reflections from scattering objects in the environment. An RF canceller subsystem can be inserted at the antenna...

For effective operation, Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STAR) systems require high isolation between the transmitted signals and the receiver input, the absence of which can lead to the saturation of a receiver's front end. This paper presents an adaptive RF canceller used to improve isolation. The canceller is configured as...

Hands-on instruction in engineering education is beneficial to the development of a workforce that understands the complexity of building radar systems. Unfortunately, building phased array systems tends to be too costly to allow student access to the hardware necessary for developing these skills. This paper presents a low cost phased...

In order to avoid self-interference, Simultaneous Transmit And Receive (STAR) systems require low mutual coupling between their respective transmit and receive antennas. This paper discusses the development of an 8-element transmit ring array antenna on a circular ground plane with a raised receive element. When combined with a beamformer that...
