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 کاملOptically Controlled Phased - Array Antenna Technology for Space
Using MMICs in phased-array applications above 20 GHz requires complex RF and control signal distribution systems. Conventional waveguide, coaxial cable, and microstrip methods are undesirable due to their high weight, high l o s s , limited mechanical flexibility and large volume. bution in MMIC phased array antennas, is optical fiber. Presented are potential system architectures and their ass...

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 کاملIntegrated Polymer Optoelectronic Time Delay Device for an X-band Phased Array Antenna System
A 4-bit polymer optoelectronic true time delay device is demonstrated. The device is composed of monolithically integrated, low loss, passive polymer waveguide delay lines and 2x2 polymer thermo-optic switches. Waveguide junction offsets and air trenches simultaneously reduce the bending loss and device area. Simulations are used to optimize the trench and offset structures for fabrication. The...
متن کاملA phased antenna array for surface plasmons.
Surface plasmon polaritons are electromagnetic waves that propagate tightly bound to metal surfaces. The concentration of the electromagnetic field at the surface as well as the short wavelength of surface plasmons enable sensitive detection methods and miniaturization of optics. We present an optical frequency plasmonic analog to the phased antenna array as it is well known in radar technology...
