The initial US technological lead in AESA technology is attributable to substantial investments made in the late stage

This article largely focus on more technical aspects of AESAs but the basics of AESAs are cogently detailed by Karlo Kopp in Active Electronically Steered Arrays A Maturing Technology.对比较早的电子扫描阵列（

10、odule packaging technology, and the effectiveness of the radars thermal management system(s). The volume of the nose is a fairly intuitive constraint, the larger an aircrafts nose is, the larger the radar can be. For example, the F-15Cs nose cone is able to accommodate the much larger 1,500 T/R elem
11、ent APG-63V(3) radar vs. the F-16C Block 60 with its comparatively smaller nose cone and its 1,000 T/R element APG-80 AESA. Packaging technology refers to how many individual T/R modules can be installed within the finite space usually accomplished by reductions in size of the individual T/R modules
12、. The more technologically advanced a firms T/R packaging technology is, the smaller the individual T/R modules will be resulting in an increase density of the layout of T/R modules within the array. Thus, advancements in packaging technology enable engineers to accommodate more T/R modules within t
13、he fixed volume of the aircrafts nose.三个主要因素决定了战斗机雷达可容纳的T/R组件数量：飞机机头的容积容量、T/R组件封装技术的成熟度，以及雷达的热管理系统的工作效率。机头部位的容积是一个相当直观的约束条件，飞机鼻锥部位容积越大，雷达（天线阵面）越大。例如：F-15C的机头鼻锥可容纳具有1500个T/R组件的APG-63V(3)雷达，而F-16C Block 60只能容纳具有1000个T/R组件的APG-80雷达。通过减小单个T/R组件的体积，封装技术决定了再固定的空间内可容纳的最大T/R组件数量。更加先进的封装技术可制造体积更小的T/R组件，从而提高了
14、阵面上的T/R组件布局密度。因此，在封装技术上的进步，将允许工程师们在固定的飞机鼻锥空间里布置更多的T/R组件。Image 2: US early production quad packed transmit receiver modules. The United States no longer produces quad channel T/R modules and has since produced single T/R module designs. Less advanced AESAs such as the Zhuk-AE utilize multi-T/R channe

16、ESA radars. Unlike MSA systems, air cooling systems are insufficient to prevent heat related system failures and frequent maintenance issues:最后，热管理系统在高功耗AESA雷达中起到关键作用。与机械扫描（MSA）系统不同，风冷散热系统不足以防止散热相关的系统故障以及由其引起的频繁维修费用：“Due to the behavior of microwave transistor amplifiers, the power efficiency of a TR module transmitter is typically less than 45%. As a result, an AESA will dissipate a lot of heat which must be extracted to prevent the trans
