Beam Scanning Technologies

Beam scanning technologies involve directing a focused beam of energy, such as light, radio waves, or radar, across an area or target. This is achieved through mechanical movement of components or electronic steering, allowing for precise control without physically moving the entire device. These systems are used in applications like radar, lidar, communication, and medical imaging, enabling detailed and flexible exploration of environments or objects. Essentially, beam scanning enhances the capability to "look around" effectively and efficiently by steering the energy beam in different directions to gather information or communicate.
