Cooling high-power radar systems: a thermal technology guide - Story
February 11, 2022Large-scale radar systems are critical to U.S. national security, giving troops advanced abilities to detect and combat enemy strikes. As the demand for increased distance in coverage grows, more electronics are used, with the resulting waste heat becoming a primary challenge for designers. There exist a number of practical solutions to expand thermal capacity while staying mindful of size, weight, and power (SWaP) considerations.
