Describing an innovative approach to phased-array control in antenna design This book explores in detail phased-array antennas that use coupled-oscillator arrays, an arrangement featuring a remarkably simple beam steering control system and a major reduction in complexity compared with traditional methods of phased-array control. It brings together in one convenient, self-contained volume the many salient research results obtained over the past ten to fifteen years in laboratories around the world, including the California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The authors examine the underlying theoretical framework of coupled-oscillator systems, clearly explaining the linear and nonlinear formalisms used in the development of coupled-oscillator arrays, while introducing a variety of state-of-the-art methodologies, design solutions, and tools for applying this control scheme. Readers will find: Numerous implementation examples of coupled-oscillator array prototypes A continuum model that permits application of diffusion theory to the analysis of phase dynamics A demonstration of the array behavior through experimental results that validate the linearized theory Examples of how incorporating coupling delay restores causality, including the latest published results Guidance on how to accurately analyze and optimize coupled-oscillator arrays using modern simulation tools A review of current developments, including the design of compact couple-oscillator array antennas Complete with 150 diagrams and photographs, Coupled-Oscillator Based Active-Array Antennas is a highly useful tutorial for antenna designers and a valuable reference for researchers and engineers wishing to learn about this cutting-edge technology.
This report presents design concepts and experimental data of planar active antenna and quasi-optical power combining arrays with strong coupling to realize a compact and low-cost radar and communication system. The prototype circuits for this purpose were made in a layered configuration using microstrip lines and in a uniplanar structure using CPW's. As an active source, an FET was selected. As a unit cell of the power combining array, a single layered active antenna using microstrip lines and slots was fabricated. In the design, small signal S-parameters were used to determine the circuit configuration while a large signal analysis to the entire circuit involving the slot antenna input impedance was carried out. The circuit designed for 10 GHz was found to operate at 9.3 GHz and the other designed for 25 GHz at 24 GHz. In addition, the circuit with CPW's and slot designed for 10 GHz was found to operate at 8.6 GHz. Based on these successful results, linear power combining arrays were made. For the strong coupling, each oscillator output is connected by a single transmission line. Several 6-element microstrip arrays and a 4-element CPW array were fabricated. In the former, sharp main beams were obtained. To obtain a millimeter-wave operating frequency, the second harmonic spatial power combining array made with FET's were demonstrated around 40 GHz. To show a topology of a 2-dimensional array, a 16-element dual polarized array at 7.8 GEL was made. To obtain the maximum in-phase radiation signal, impedance matching, a phase of the radiation signal and a signal phase of each oscillator were taken into account ...
