According to you? You are STILL wrong.
Here is from YOUR source...
http://micro.apitech.co.uk/pdf/aesa/X-Band-QTRM.pdf
See the 'QTRM' initials? What does the letter 'M' stands for? MODULE.
The word 'Module' here describe the entire component, not the individual T/R module (lower case) element.
Inside the (upper case) 'Module' are the four individual T/R modules that controls their four elements.
According to APITECH's functional block schematic, it does not mean one T/R controller operating four elements.
And you are wrong. I do understand it and understand it better than you do. I understand your own source better than you do because I have relevant experience. You do not.
You are not only dense, but stubborn.
So even after I concede and agree to your point, I am still wrong?
According to APITECH's functional block schematic, it does not mean one T/R controller operating four elements.
I never claimed this in the first place. You were the one who linked what I said to PESA.
This is how I defined my radiator element:
And my "radiator element" is a device that has its own high power amplifier and low noise receiver.
Note the bold in the quotes:
The word 'Module' here describe the entire component, not the individual T/R module (lower case) element.
And I called this "T/R module", the entire component.
Inside the (upper case) 'Module' are the four individual T/R modules that controls their four elements.
And I called this "radiator element." So that would be 4 radiator elements according to me. Check how I defined it again.
============
I'll repeat again: From the same pdf file you linked, there are two block diagrams.
The first one says "TRM Element block diagram". This is my radiator element.
The second one says "QTRM block diagram". This is my T/R module.
So, when you asked a seemingly dumb question (to me) like "How do 1000 "QTRMs" make "4000" beams?" (changed the number to reflect the example)
I replied:
It's so simple. Take 1 T/R module. Put 4 (changed number for effect) radiating elements in it in a line configuration. You get 4 beams.
So here, my 1 T/R module = 1 QTRM
4 radiating elements = 4 TRM Elements
