    Combat Aircraft technology and Evolution

    Thanks a lot. But here too we are basically working with RF signal. Does the ADC converts the received RF frequencies back into optical output in this case?

    Combat Aircraft technology and Evolution

    I got the point of how it works, but what is out of my understanding is how its going to create image. Its more of PAO or Phased Array Optics where light waves are used rather then Radio waves like in case of RADAR. Now what I don't get is. how to do the modulation of optical waves in visible...

    For sake of simplicity, check this link http://planes.axlegeeks.com/compare/148-173-207/Dassault-Rafale-vs-Lockheed-F-16-Fighting-Falcon-vs-Saab-Gripen BTW this thread is about Tejas and lets not discuss any other platform here. But in simple terms, Gripen beats F-16 and Rafale in terms of...

    Combat Aircraft technology and Evolution

    If you are talking about a theoritical scenario then yes. But in practical scenario, you simply can't put Tejas and Gripen in the same category. Tejas has been built as an Light Multirole combat platform, whereas Gripen is a medium weight multirole combat platform. This is the reason why Gripen...

    And what I am saying is, you simply can't compare both the birds for Weight Carrying Capability. For instance Gripen is using F414 whereas Tejas is making use of F404 right now. Obviously its lower TWR would limit Tejas in carrying more weight like Gripen. When in future we do incorporate F414...

    Neither it is a unique nor its a Tejas only issue. The thing is composites is never been a good choice as RADAR dome for any platform. The reason that a repeated comparison of Tejas with JF17 on basis of RCS brings out Tejas as a sure winner is because of its extensive use of carbon fibre and...
