This is the AN/APG-81 AESA Radar antenna by Northrop Grumman currently found in the F-35 (photo from wikipedia article).
It seems to have a very different structure than past AESA/PESA antennas. For example the APG-68 from the F-16 looks a lot like stacked, slotted wave guides to me.
So what is the name of the actual structural layout for the APG-81? One person I talked to suggested "honeycomb", but I couldn't find any reference to that antenna structure on google scholar. Better search terms would be appreciated. :)
Thanks!
