A beam-forming network for a circular switched-beam phased array antenna
Karmakar, Nemai C. and Bialkowski, Marek E. (2001) A beam-forming network for a circular switched-beam phased array antenna. IEEE Microwave And Wireless Components Letters, 111: 7-9.
This paper reports on the design and development of a dividing/phasing network for a compact switched-beam array antenna for Land-vehicle mobile satellite communications, The device is formed by a switched radial divider/combiner and 1-bit phase shifters and generates a sufficient number of beams for the proper satellite tracking.
