A solid state transmitter with adaptive beamforming
Abstract
In many transmitter applications it is desirable to provide low sidelobe streerable radiation patterns from an array fed by multiple identical solid state sources. A feed network for an experimental linear array which allows this to be accomplished by means of 'phase shift only' control of array element amplitude and phase is described. Details of the experimental equipment and measured radiation patterns, in both the transmit and receive mode, are presented.
