Abstract:
The ability to rapidly scan a highly directive antenna beam has been made possible by recent advances in the art of microwave phase shifting. This report describes an experimental C-band phased array antenna. The antenna is composed of eight subarrays which may be arranged in several configurations to investigate the effects of a full array. Each subarray contains a reactive power divider, 48 ferrite phase shifters and their electronic drivers, and a radiating structure. The radiating structure has been designed to provide some compensation for impedance variation with scanning. The design and fabrication of the components are discussed in detail, and test results of the array are presented and analyzed.
