MICROWAVE BEAM-STEERING TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Efforts were made to develop a delay line technique capable of electronically phasing elements of steerable radar antenna arrays. The system consists of a double-fed delay line having thirty phase-controllable outputs. The phase relationship of these output signals is controlled by a variable frequency oscillator. The electrical designs of all components required for the breadboard system were successfully completed. Fabrication of all the required items is near completion. Assembly and tests of breadboard components were begun. The beam-steering oscillator and the phase measurement system were tested with satisfactory results. (Author)
