Rapid Phased Array prototyping with Analog Devices and X-Microwave

How to get started with phased array beamforming rapid prototyping using the ADAR1000 and the X-Microwave phased array cube. RF blocks can be bolted together to quickly provide a complete solution from 8-16GHz. This video walks through the entire construction, including software library setup, and with a simple Python script to generate a 2D scan.
