Steering Satellite Signals: Phased Array Advancements
Podcasts
In this episode, Greg Penske is joined by Richard Soden and Dustin Brown to explore how phased array antennas are driving a new era in satellite communications and defense. Once exclusive to radar and electronic warfare, phased array technology now powers next-gen low Earth orbit (LEO) satellites, enabling precise, steerable beams for high-efficiency communication and reduced interference. The conversation unpacks key benefits like energy efficiency, dynamic beamforming, and real-time tracking — plus the challenges of adapting radar technology for LEO communications. Tune in to learn how these advancements are unlocking new capabilities for global connectivity, mission success, and space-based defense systems.
