Phased array antenna using MEMS phase shifter
This article presents a phased array antenna employing MEMS phase shifter. The proposed phased array antenna consists of eight square patch antennas operating at 10.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 400 MHz. Feed line for each patch passes through a MEMS phase shifter realized by a series of bridges above the transmission line. The distance between the bridge and the transmission line underneath it is ...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystal Fiber Array for True-Time-Delay Structured X-band Phased Array Antenna Systems
Tunable optical true-time-delay modules based on highly dispersive photonic crystal fibers were demonstrated to provide continuous radio frequency squint-free beam scanning for X-band phased array antenna systems. © 2006 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (060.2310) Fiber Optics; (280.5110) Phased-Array Radar
متن کاملOptimization of a Wideband Tapped-Delay Line Array Antenna
In this paper, an optimal approach to design wideband tapped-delay line (TDL) array antenna is proposed. This approach lets us control the array angular and frequency response over a wide frequency band. To this end, some design restrictions are defined and a multi-objective optimization problem is constructed by putting the individual restrictions together. The optimal weights of the TDL proce...
متن کاملImproved Photonic True Time Delay Unit for a Ku-Band Phased Array Antenna Demonstration
In this letter, a Photonic True Time Delay (PTTD) unit for phased array antennas is experimentally demonstrated. The PTTD unit, employing a single wavelength laser source, exploits the distributed photonic bandgap offered by a Linearly Chirped Fiber Bragg Grating (LCFBG) to attain different time delays by properly actuating the physical and geometrical features of the LCFBG through temperature ...
متن کاملSpaceborne Active Phased Array Antenna Calibration Using an Accurate Antenna Model
TerraSAR-X is a highly flexible X-band radar satellite. Its primary objective is the acquisition of high quality SAR images in a multitude of possible acquisition modes. The great amount of antenna patterns needed for image acquisition and correction requires an antenna model accurately describing all beams. To guarantee the required image quality, the model was verified in-orbit during the com...
