In this paper we proposed a beam steering equation for the planar slotted waveguide array antenna. The tilt angle measured from the rotating axis and the aperture distribution of the antenna were the most important factors for the beam steering. From the equation, we calculated the frequency and phase distribution of the aperture for any desired beam direction. And we developed a high speed control algorithm delivering the phase data to the phase shifters of a one-dimensional phased array antenna. To reduce complexity of the control circuit and the phase delivery time, we proposed the serial phase repeating method. Because of its simplicity, we expect it can be useful for a large 2- dimensional fully phased array antenna.

In this paper, a symmetric microwave lens to steer wide angle and to operate at broad band frequency range for a linear phased array transmitter was designed. To get accurate beam steering performance far a linear phased array transmitter, uniform amplitude transmission characteristics of microwave lens was focused. The measured result for the insertion loss deviation between Input and output ports of microstrip lens with 8 beam ports and 8 array ports was $\pm$3.1 ㏈ over 6~18 ㎓ band, which was very uniform characteristics. Using 8 elements linear array antenna, it was confirmed the radiation beam could be steered over $\pm$60$^{\circ}$ in azimuth. And the measured lens performance data and multi-beam steering pattern were presented.

This paper proposes a hybrid antenna with novel beam steering scheme. The antenna have a cassegrain structure composed of two reflectors. The main reflector is designed for high gain performance using parabola curvature, and the sub-reflector is plate and can be rotated by ${\pm}3^{\circ}$. Thus proposed antenna can steer a antenna beam using the inclination of sub-reflector. A feed array composed of 20 elements is adapted as a feeder for electrical beam steering, and the antenna can be possible to steer the beam by the feed array with sub-reflector. Proposed antenna was fabricated to be operated in Ka-band(30.085$\sim$30.885 GHz) for TX and K-band(20.355$\sim$21.155 GHz), which are the operation frequencies of the Korean satellite, Mugunhwa, to provide satellite multi-media service to vehicles. By the performance test, it can be known that the antenna has minimum gain of 47 dBi for TX and 44.4 dBi for TX and can steer the beam by ${\pm}2^{\circ}$ with sub-reflector.

The technical development of electric vehicles has been actively proceeding because of the reduction of oil resources and need for eco-friendly vehicle technology. In particular, an electronic control unit is an important element in the technology of electric vehicles due to the motor drive system. This paper concerns an experimental study on the thermal analysis of the steering control ECU structure for an electric vehicle. The ECU unit is designed for eight heat sinks for the thermal analysis of the ECU structure. The thermal analysis characteristics of the ECU structure are evaluated by the temperature distribution, heat flow, von Mises stress, total translation, and external surface temperature measurement of the ECU unit.

This paper studies with structural and vibration analysis to evaluate the structural safety according to the types of steering wheels. This study models are two, three and four spoke types. As the number of spokes increases, the maximum equivalent stress becomes smaller but the maximum total deformation becomes a little higher. The natural frequency at three models are shown from 180 to 230Hz as the maximum deformation. The frequency responses as maximum amplitude displacement are happened at 200Hz, 500Hz and 500Hz respectively. In this study, the steering wheel with three spoke type is shown to become suitable at durability and production.

This paper presents analysis and design of microstrip Rotman lens operating over wide band and wide steering angle by the contour integral method along with the segmentation method. All mutual coupling, internal reflections between ports and the discontinuity at every junction are taken into account. Equally spaced ports are designed and realized, which make suppress output ripple through the array ports. Impedance matching and mutual coupling between ports are analyzed and optimized using 12 input and 12 output exponential tapers. The measured results of fabricated lens show ${\pm}$ 1.8 dB insertion loss deviation over 6∼18 GHz wide frequency range and beam steering accuracy less than 1$^{\circ}$over ${\pm}$53$^{\circ}$angle and agrees well with the analysis results.

In this paper we propose two types of reconfigurable 3-D beam steering antenna for intelligent or smart antenna system. Proposed antennas are composed of triangular(structure1.) or circuler(structure2.) loop structure and bended dipole antenna structure. This antenna can steer beam pattern of 6 direction at xy-plane state (0, 1, 2) and xz-plane state (3, 4, 5) by 4 switch motion with one antenna element. Antenna structure1. is symmetric equilibrium structures based on feeding point. There is no grounding point. As a result, designed antenna's gain is similar to dipole antenna. Also, As unbalanced structure by using CPWG in the form of a semicircular, structure2. is enhanced directivity. The operation frequency of antenna are 2.5 GHz(Structure1.) and 2.55 GHz(Structure2.), maximum gain is 1.04 ~ 2.06 dBi(Structure1. : Omni-directional beam), 1.6 ~ 4 dBi(structure2. : Directional beam). The overall HPBW is about over $160^{\circ}$ in the both of the xy-plane and xz-plane at structure1. and over $125^{\circ}$ at structure2.

When there are mismatches between the beamforming steering vector and the array response vector for the desired signal, the performance can be severely degraded as the adaptive array attempts to suppress the desired signal as well as interferences. In this paper, an robust method is proposed for the adaptive array in the presence of both direction errors and random errors in the steering vector. The proposed method first finds a signal-plus-interference subspace (SIS) from the correlation matrix, which in turn is exploited to extract an interference subspace based on the structure of a uniform linear array (ULA), the effect of the desired signal direction vector being reduced as much as possible. Then, the weight vector is attained to be orthogonal to the interference subspace. Simulation shows that the proposed method, in terms of signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (SINR), outperforms existing ones such as the doubly constrained robust Capon beamformer (DCRCB).

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the wideband beamforming in a conformal phased array antenna by compensating the errors. For the wideband beamforming, we used the True Time Delay(TTD), which was fabricated on the RF circuit board to obtain long delay lines. Beamforming errors in the conformal array antenna are the mutual coupling between the array elements, the dispersive error in the TTD circuit, and the quantization error by the digital control. We apply the compensation algorithm to the conformal phased array antenna of wideband 2~4 GHz, and verify the usefulness by comparing the results with the experiment results.
