AN INVESTIGATION OF THE PERFORMANCE OF A STEERABLE MULTIPLICATIVE CIRCULAR ANTENNA ARRAY USING ANALOGUE TECHNIQUES,

Abstract

This report describes a method by which a circular receiving array can be used as a non-linear multiplicative array. The advantage of the circular geometry is the same for this application as for the other uses studied previously: the beam can be pointed in any direction without significant change in the pattern. A balanced modulator is used as the multiplying element. A method of simulating a circular array is described, and this analog is used to obtain data on the performance of the multiplicative array.
