핀 배열 안테나를 이용한 선형 위상 배열 안테나의 방사 특성을 일반적인 패치안테나를 이용한 선형 위상 배열 안테나와 방사 특성을 비교하였다. 핀 배열 안테나를 이용한 위상 배열 안테나는 단위 안테나간의 상호결합이 작게 발생하기 때문에 일반적인 패치안테나를 이용한 위상 배열 안테나의 성능보다 향상되었다. 핀 태열 안테나를 이용한 선형 위상 배열 안테나는 주빔의 방향에 따른 이득과 side lobe level 의 변화가 적은 우수한 방사 특성을 가진다.

A 94-GHz phased array antenna using a log-periodic antenna has been developed on a GaAs substrate. The developed phased array antenna comprises four log-periodic antennas, a phase shifter, and a Wilkinson power divider. This antenna was fabricated using the standard microwave monolithic integrated circuit (MMIC) process including an air bridge for unipolar circuit implementations on the same GaAs substrate. The total chip size of the fabricated phased array antenna is 4.8 mm × 4.5 mm. Measurement results showed that the fabricated phased array antenna had a very wide band performance from 80 GHz to 110 GHz with return loss characteristics better than -10 dB. In the center frequency of 94 GHz, the fabricated phased array antenna showed a return loss of -16 dB and a gain of 4.43 dBi. The developed antenna is expected to be widely applied in many applications at W-band frequency.

A varactor diode was utilized in order to expand variable range of the natural oscillation frequency of an active phased-array antenna. We have conformed experimentally that the variable range of the natural oscillation frequency was expanded about three times in the oscillator controlled by the varactor diode. When frequency difference was given to the oscillators in the two elements antenna system, phase difference was appeared between the oscillators. The 2-, 3-, 5-elements patch antenna array was composed for the beam scanning experiments. All the above patch antennas showed good phased array characteristics. The experimental results are as follows that the scanning angle of the 2-elements array antenna is 28.6$^{\circ}$, the 3-elements array antenna is 29.4$^{\circ}$, and the 5-elements array antenna is 26.2$^{\circ}$.

This paper proposes a $4{\times}4$ broadband phased array antenna using a Left-Handed Transmission Line (LHTL) based phase shifter. The phased array is constructed with sixteen quasi-Yagi antenna elements and the phase shifters, as well as four power dividers. A key component of the system, the LHTL based phase shifter is able to control a phase delay of incident waves linearly and continuously. The fabricated phased array antenna operate for a frequency range of 800 MHz (1.6 GHz~2.4 GHz). The beam scanning range of the $4{\times}4$ array antenna is ${\pm}27^{\circ}$ horizontally and vertically while the antenna gain is maintained with a variation of ${\pm}1.4dBi$.

A wideband beamforming algorithm for estimating the azimuth angle, elevation angle, velocity, and range using a planar phased radar array with antenna switching is proposed. It uses the time-variant steering vector model. Simulation results illustrating the performance of the proposed beamformer are presented.

A beam steering system of X-band 2-D phased array antenna for radar application is developed. The beam steering system consists of real-time command generator, beam steering unit, control PCB of array module and power supply. It plays a role of beam steering and on-line check of phased array antenna. The performance of beam steering system is verified with pulse timing of current control in phase shifters and measurement of far-field of phased array antenna. The developed beam steering system offers basic technology to develop full-scale beam steering system of multi-function radar.

A wide-band E-plane notch phased array antenna having bandwidths of 3:1 and a scan volume of $\pm$ 45 is designed considering the active element pattern (AEP) with analysis of the full structure of E-plane notch phased array antenna. Using the numerical E-plane waveguide simulator as an infinite linear array in the broadside angle, the active reflection coefficient (ARC) of the unit element is optimized in the design frequency range. To evaluate the convergence of the AEP, the simulation of full array as changing the number array is investigated, and the minimum numbers of array that have characteristics similar to the AEP of an infinite array are determined.

An active phased array antenna consists of many channels. Each channel has a different initial phase shift and gain because of the inequality in the active circuits themselves, interface between radiators and active circuits, and beam-forming circuits and other antenna system configurations. This raises an inherent problem in active phased array antennas. To compensate for this problem the initial phase and gain of each channel should be calibrated. This paper presents an efficient calibration method for an initial phase variation of each channel in active phased array antennas. We tested our method in an active phased array antenna, and obtained good results in the radiation pattern and beam direction of antenna.

In this paper, the 5-element active phased array antennas coupled through slotline between elements are designed and fabricated. A recent studies on the active phased array antennas using the transmission line coupling which can be designed to provide strong coupling and the appropriate coupling phase. But this sturucture has limitation of expanding in two dimensions for planar active phased array antennas and distortion of the radiation pattern caused by coupling network. Thus our work proposes the slotline coupling structure asthe broadband coupling network for the active phased array antenna. In experiment, 5-elements active phased array antenas have steering range from -30.deg. to 20.deg. off broadside as the free-running frequencies of end elements are controlled. The overall results show that the proposed slotline coupling structure is suited for the coupling network in the actie phased array antenna system. And the proposed coupling structire solves the expansion problem and eliminates the distortion of the radiation pattern caused by the spurious radiation of the transmission line coupling network. Thus thiscan be expanded to two dimensional coupling network for the planar active phased array antenna system.

본 연구에서는 광 지연선로를 이용한 스퀸팅(squinting)이 없는 위상배열 안테나의 근접장 미세파장 포커싱(subwavelength focusing)을 디자인하고 전산모사를 통해 검증하였다. 마이크로파 파장에서 위상배열 안테나의 수치적 계산을 위해 호이겐스-프레넬(Huygens-Fresnel) 원리를 적용하였다. 제안하는 시스템은 첩 광섬유 격자(chirped fiber grating)에 기반한 광 지연선로를 이용하여 빔 스퀸팅이 생기지 않는다는 것을 전산모사를 통해 확인하였다. 그리고 개별 안테나의 배열은 광학렌즈시스템에서 회절 소자로 간주할 수 있음에 착안해 높은 개구율(numerical aperture)을 구현하고 미세파장 포커싱을 얻었다. 또한, 위상배열 안테나의 안테나 사이 거리를 반파장 이하로 줄여 사이드 로브를 억제할 수 있음을 보였다.
