More than half a century of practice in the development of antenna systems (AS) with electronic beam control (EBC) at JSC “V. Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design” showed that the development of each new antenna (phased antenna array (PAA) or active PAA (APAA)) should include the enormous work of a large number of specialists in various areas of theory and technology of antennas and radars. The aim of the article is to consider the features of the process of developing of AS with EBC.

The efficiency of electronic beam control in radars for various purposes has been substantiated. The results of the development of several generations of PAA, the development of functional capabilities in them and an increase in the radiation characteristics have been given. The dynamics of improving the characteristics of waveguide distribution systems, phase shifters and beam control systems has been considered. The analysis of the results of the development of active PAA in the X-wavelength range has been carried out. The analysis of the main directions of development of the technology of antenna systems with electronic beam control has been presented.

It has been shown that for the successful solution of the problem of creating antennas and radars with EBC at all stages of technology development, the most important area of activity, along with the development of the basic foundations of the theory of constructing PAA and APAA and related adequate methods of mathematical modeling, is working design, covering all functional levels from element base to system problems.
