A flat limited scanning phased array antenna working at 12.2-12.7GHz and suitable for DBS satellite reception is presented. The antenna utilizes a patented phase control device that makes its architecture smart and suitable for commercial applications. Antenna architecture as well as steering principle and polarization control are described and discussed. Measured patterns of the antenna are presented as well as field experiments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
