In this work, frequency selective surface has been implemented over radome to address the issue of composite radome matching. Different planer artificial structures are implemented surrounding the antenna aperture to restore the broad coverage of patch antenna with low return loss. Implementation of artificially hard boundary in the form of longitudinal metallic strips restores the -3 dB beamwidth (

) of the antenna in E-plane at the cost of antenna gain. Soft ring over dielectric coating surrounding the antenna aperture is optimized here for broad beamwidth (

) in E-plane with increased gain near to 7 dB by suppressing the creeped RF energy from thick dielectric coating.

Multiband Fractal Antenna:
Sierpinski fractal monopole antenna and its scale factor variations have been studied. The Sierpinski fractal monopole antenna designed exhibits multiband behavior with three log-periodic bands, spaced with a log-period of 2. The number of log-periodic bands is proportional to the number of fractal iterations. By changing the geometrical scale factor of the Sierpinski Fractal, the band positions are changed accordingly, which confirms that the band positions correspond to the geometrical scale factor of the Sierpinski fractal, but it results in poor input matching (the return loss of the three log periodic bands being approximately -9 dB). This poor input matching is improved by using microstrip line feeding and consequently the return loss of the log-periodic bands improves to less than -15 dB.

Spatial Power Combining in Rectangular Waveguides using Dense Finline Arrays:
Spatial power combiners using dense finline arrays (tapered slot antennas) arranged in tray configuration and enclosed in a standard Ku band waveguide (WR-62) have been designed in this work. The design of the finline taper is the most challenging aspect in this work. Before the tapers can be synthesized, a relationship between phase constant of the finline array and its geometrical parameters must be established which can only be achieved through full wave EM analysis. Matlab codes were developed using Spectral Domain Method (SDM) to extract this relationship for single-tray finline, two-tray finline and four-tray finline configuration. Results of SDM codes were also compared with Ansoft HFSS and were found to be in good aggrement. Two tray finline and Four tray finline tapers along with dielectric matching, connected back to back were fabricated and tested using Time Domain Gating feature of Network Analyzer. Results indicate measured return loss of 26.3 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 23.5 dB for single tray finline, 19 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 18.6 dB for two tray finline and 16 dB as compared to simulated return loss of 15.5 dB for four tray finline at 16 GHz.

Circularly Polarized Antenna Array using Sequential Rotation Technique:
In this project, circularly polarized antenna has been designed for the application domain of Direct Broadcasting Satellites (DBS) using sequential rotation technique. Using this technique, 2 GHz bandwidth has been achieved which is a necessity for efficient performance since DBS operational range is 10.7-12.7 GHz. In addition, good circular polarization and low VSWR over a wide frequency band has been achieved. The axial ratio approaches 0 dB at boresight with 0.47 GHz bandwidth making the antenna broadband both in terms of VSWR and axial ratio bandwidth.

Short Range Ground Surveillance Radar

very similar to indian (BFSR-SR)

This is the same project of NUST,i told you in 2010-11

@amardeep mishra

GSR ,Ground surveillance radar is a class of radar sensors that monitor activity surrounding or on critical infrastructure areas such as airports,[1] seaports, military installations, national borders, refineries and other critical industry and the like. Such radars are characterized by their ability to detect movement at ground level of targets such as an individual walking or crawling towards a facility. Such radars typically have ranges of several hundred metres to over 10 kilometers.

Pakistan's Ministry of defense production launched a Research and development project for completely indigenous production of a GSR in collaboration with EME and other departments of NUST.
A total of 39 Million Rs were allocated for R&D. The preliminary/Theoretical work was completed within an year with 20+ PHD students working on the project. The project was so successful that AESA and PESA technologies seemed conceivable within Pakistan's own expertise and resources.
International Microwave journal IEEE received and published dozens of research papers about Radar technology from the students working on this project. See project 274 on NUST website
NESCOM was given the task of further developing the AESA , PESA related research which branched out of this project. 300 Million USD were allocated for Pakistan's own dedicated Electronics R&D labs near Islamabad which had to be a subsidiary of NESCOM.
Unfortunately the labs never materialized in its desired form. Much of the funds dedicated for the lab were diverted to other civilian projects by PPP Prime minister Raja Pervez Ashraf.
A toned down NESCOM Electronics complex was completed in 2012,but was again a victim of financial corruption and could not do any mlre than manufacturing Motherboards for NRTC's Software defined radios.

The research on further development and building of a prototype GSR continued at NUST/EME
The project was started in 2006 and named "national Radar" or NR.

Over the years 3 versions were built and tested and in 2014 the Final prototype NR-V3 was accepted for production by Pakistan's Ministry of Defense production.

The Radar's Exact specifications are still undisclosed,but a learned guess is that the Radar has the capability of detecting Humans at 4Km range and Vehicles at 12Km range with an average accuracy of 96%.
The biggest challenge in any Ground surveillance radar is to identify target among clutter or reflections of trees,buildings and other ground objects. This was probably the biggest research project and many research papers were written by Pakistani PHD students on this subject during the project.
The final Algorithms was very robust and with accuracy of 96% or more.

All the components,including Antenna,transmitters,Receivers,Filters and software were designed,built and tested in Pakistan.
It is yet to be seen when the Radar will enter mass production and deployment on strategically important locations for area surveillance.

Some pictures of the project as below.

Antenna designs and prototypes.

It's a long and interesting list, especially the Burraq UAV/missile combination. A number of middle eastern countries could use that capability these days.

Pakistan has consistently shamed India by rolling out programs that don't overreach, then executing and fielding useful equipment. The stories of the JF-17 vs. the Tejas, or Pakistan's tank development vs. Arjun iterations, make for very invidious comparisons.

The relevant question is how Pakistan wants to move forward. There's a growing global trend of non-aligned arms providers, who are beginning to roll out sophisticated weapons for export. Pakistan and India have potential offerings, as do Brazil, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, and the UAE. I call the trend "Hyundaization", per my April 6th article in the Wall St. Journal.

(I can't post the URL - but anyone determined to find it can do so easily.)

The question for Pakistan, I think is how to wants to play in that environment. As a Chinese partner and conduit into OIC countries? As more of an independent player, perhaps in conjunction with Turkey and the UAE? Which areas are worthy of Pakistan's export focus? Why?

As far as i am concerned, Pakistan tends to play on its own. We have strong defense relations with countries in Central Asia, Balkins, Africa and MENA region. Somewhere down the line if any of the OIC states like to join in for a Joint Venture i.e an upgraded K-8 Trainer jet or Al-Khalid tanks etc they will be welcomed. We do have very strong cooperation with Turkey in various areas of defense technology i.e optronics, electronics and sub systems. Welcome aboard
