초록

쌍방향 선로결합형 위상차 배열 발진기 결합계를 구성하고, (1) 쌍방향 주파수제어 방식, (2) 단방향 주파수 제어방식, (3) 쌍방향 주입위상 제어방식 등 3가지 방식에 대하여 구동실험을 하였다. 시험 제작한 발진기에 구형 패치 안테나를 부착하여 2요소 능동안테나를 제작, 안테나 사이를 전송선로로 결합하여 어레이를 구성하고 결합 위상과 전송선로 길이와의 관계를 측정하였다. 전송선로로 결합된 능동 위상차 배열안테나의 주사각도에 따른 방사전력을 측정한 결과, (1)의 방식에서 빔의 방사방향은 약$-9.8^{\circ}$에서 $+9.8^{\circ}$까지 $19.6^{\circ}R, 위상차는 $-0.31{\pi}$에서 $-0.36{\pi}$까지 (2)의 방식에서 빔의 방사방향은 약 $-3.8^{\circ}$에서 $+17^{\circ}$까지 $20.8^{\circ}$, 위상차는 $-0.085{\pi}$에서 $-0.65{\pi}$까지, (3)의 방식에서 빔의 방사방향은 약 $-17^{\circ}$에서 $+16^{\circ}$까지 $33^{\circ}$, 위상차는 $-0.63{\pi}$에서 $-0.59{\pi}$까지 변하여 모두 위상차 배열동작이 가능함을 확인하였다.

In order to increase the coupling efficiency of the power and phase of the active phase array antenna, we have fabricated the active phased-array antenna which is coupled by the transmission line, and investigated the relationship between the length of the coupling transmission line and coupling power and phase. The following three types of driving method - (1) giving the frequency difference between the two active antenna, (2) applying the input signal to the one side of the two antennas, and changing the eigen frequency of the other side antenna, (3) appling the different phase inputs to the active antennas was investigated. The experimental results showed that the interval of the antenna elements has not affected the power and the phase of the antenna.
