Phased Array Antennas

This video gives a high-level overview of the basic operating principles of phased array antennas, with visual examples of how they operate illustrated with ripples in water.

This is our (Michael Sinanis, Jenna Hickle, and myself) submission for the IMS 2015 YouTube/YouKu video competition.

Yo dude. I suggest you go into lecturing, next year I will be final year Electronic Engineering and I have come across very few people that will take this amount of effort to make a complex concept relatively basic to understand. Keep up the great work, well done and thank you for sharing.

[ryankreager]

This was simply magical. You took a really complex problem and made it easy to understand in 5 minutes.

[abeerasif]

I was trying to understand this concept for over 2 hrs and with this 5 min video everything became clear. Thanks a lot! Your way of explaining is amazing

[suseetw]

Greatest video ever on Phased array antennas. And the concept blows my mind!

[molonlabe]

I am brand-spanking-new to the world of RF and antenna/wave propagation, and your explanation was clear as day. It's amazing how some people just have a knack for teaching. Great job!!

[escribidormadrid]

I was very pleasantly surprised by how easy this was to understand. Not only how phased array antennas work but also why anyone would want to use them. Thank you.

Yo bro this is probably in my top three videos I have ever seen in youtube regardless of their subject or theme. The complexity of this topic being described in such an easy way blows my mind, awesome work

[badweetabix]

Thank you for making this video. Being a expert in a field and being able to teach it are two different abilities. You got both and I hope you consider a career teaching because none of my professors in college could explain it this well much less do so in 5 minutes.

If you end up teaching you're gonna be a great professor, especially in the field of electrical engineering where it's rare to have clear instructors (MIT doesn't count of course).

I've never expected I could understand how Array Antenna works so easily ... Thank you so much... - Student from South Korea -

[leslieharriman]

Your power of explanation is refreshing, clear and concise. Keep up the incredible content!

[JG-mwyd]

This is seriously the best description of phased array antennas i've seen. Thank you.

[hugobonilla]

Great video! I'm researching a company that is utilizing this exact technology for low earth orbit satellites and wanted to understand this concept that underpins their proprietary IP. Thank you!

[NunoLosch]

I have no background in this kind of topics, but just came across something that mentioned phased array and came looking to see what it was and got exactly what I came for. Judging by other comments tho, I guess you really are a great lecturer because I felt like this was really easy to understand despite apparently being a complex thing

[girishchandra]

Such a fantastic and fascinating session.The way you related the phased array concept with the natural phenomenons were awesome(I could sense a da'vinci touch in this lecture)

[vuanhminhle]

What a lecture! You explain everything I need to know about Phased array antenna just in few minutes! Keep your work, I am following you.

[rishabhsli]

Hi Mark,
you made that so easy to comprehend! The choice of videos and drawings and the explanation - spot on! Thanks a ton! Good Luck

[alrestauro]

Great simple explanation about phased arrays and syncing each antennas to create a uniform wave. That's so cool!

[suleimanaliyubabale]

This is the best explanation on Phase Antenna Array I have ever come across. Cheers!

I can't remember when was the last time i saw such an easy explanation. Great work.Well done
