Abstract
A radar system having an array of radiating elements configured for both analog beamforming and digital beamforming as analog parameters of the individual radiating elements are controlled, while digital control expands the field of view of the system. The radar system can include an array of radiating elements and a reactance control module coupled to the array of radiating elements and configured to adjust a reactance in one or more radiating elements of the array of radiating elements. The radar system also includes a digital control mechanism coupled to the array of radiating elements and configured to adjust a field of view of the array of radiating elements. A hybrid beamforming system and a method for a beamforming antenna are also provided herein.
