Overview
About Adaptive Arrays
Adaptive arrays are designed using only three module types: Anya, Anna, and Otto. Each column in an
array can only consist of one module type, and columns of Anya and Anna can be combined to create
mixed, multi-column arrays. Since the vertical coverage of the system is adaptable from 90° down to
90° up, supplemental “downfill” or “upfill” enclosures are unnecessary. Attention should be paid to the
horizontal coverage requirements as Anya/Anna does not increase or decrease coverage in the
horizontal plane via DSP. This is achieved by attaching additional columns to the array.
Anya Driver Compliment
LF – Dual 15” direct radiating with Offset Aperture™ loading
MF – Six 5” horn-loaded with CSA™ apertures and Radial Phase Plugs™
HF – Fourteen 1” horn-loaded on proprietary waveguide
Each component within an Anya module is independently powered and processed using state-of-the-
art electronics. These electronics are contained in each module’s Power Plant, providing 22 channels of
amplification, 22 channels of DSP, and all necessary networking components in a field-replaceable
highly weather-resistant package.
Anya Nominal Coverage
Horizontal – 70° when used as a single column. Columns array on 60° centers (10° overlap total, 5°
overlap from each column) to minimize the transition from one column to another.
