 +Phased array communications and radar systems are finding increased use in a variety of applications. This places a greater importance on training engineers and rapidly prototyping new phased array concepts. However, both those imperatives have historically been difficult and expensive. That is why Analog Devices launched the ADALM-PHASER.  It is a low cost, simplified phased array radar which allows real beamforming hardware to be used for education, project proposals, and even software development.\\ 
 +Most of the labs are run on a Python GUI, with several helper scripts. These can be run on a remote host computer, or directly on the phaser's Raspberry Pi computer with the addition of a keyboard, mouse, and display.\\ 
 +For more advanced application development, the Phaser is also supported in the MATLAB RF Microwave Toolbox. Equivalent MATLAB lab exercises are in development, and will be added below as they are completed.
  
-===== Phaser Hardware ===== 
-  * When???  We’re hitting some delays due to part availability.  But we hope to have ordering information available by end of July 2022. 
-  * To get acquainted with the hardware, see the **[[resources:eval:user-guides:circuits-from-the-lab:cn0566:overview_setup|Phaser Hardware Overview]]** page.

 The ADALM-PHASER is meant for you to experience, first hand, phased array beamforming and radar concepts.  But to go along with the hardware, we’ve put together a series of short lectures followed by hands-on labs that you can perform with your own Phaser. A complete, printable lab manual is available here: The ADALM-PHASER is meant for you to experience, first hand, phased array beamforming and radar concepts.  But to go along with the hardware, we’ve put together a series of short lectures followed by hands-on labs that you can perform with your own Phaser.
