A 2x2 Dynamic Polarization-Controlling Integrated Phased Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiator arrays with Dynamic Polarization Control (DPC) and 2D beam steering enable polarization matching to the receiver antenna regardless of its polarization, orientation, and location. A fully integrated 122.9 GHz 2x2 DPC multi-port driven phased array radiates all linear polarizations (0°-180° polarization angles) with axial ratios above 14 dB, and controls the axial ratio from 1.2 dB (circular) to 17.8 dB (linear) with a maximum EIRP of +12.3 dBm and 2D beam steering of up to 15°.
