AN ELECTRONIC SCANNING TECHNIQUE FOR H.F. ARRAYS.

Abstract

Electronic control of phased arrays in the HF region (3 MHz to 30 MHz) offer many advantages for RDF systems which make use of such arrays. One of the principal difficulties is that of obtaining a satisfactory device to permit phase adjustment with electronic control. The solid state delay element, which utilizes the minority carrier transport delay of a semiconductor material, is a device which permits a variable phase shift in the HF range over the complete range of 360 degrees. The feasibility of such a device is shown by means of both experimental and analytical work. (Author)
