Synthesis of RATAN-600 directional patterns with a phased antenna array.
Abstract
The possibility of operating the RATAN-600 radio telescope with a linear phased antenna array (LPA) in the focal line of the secondary is examined. The excitation law of such a composite feed is calculated, along with the directional pattern of the RATAN-600 with the LPA. The possibility of electronic scanning of the RATAN-600 DP in elevation using the LPA is discussed.
