SELF-PHASING ANTENNA ARRAY Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: antenna equipment, communication systems including mobile ones used under complex interference conditions. SUBSTANCE: self-phasing antenna array has reception channel including row of antenna elements, former of summary signal, phase inverters and power dividers placed between outputs of antenna elements and inputs of former. Control channel of antenna array incorporates discrete phase inverter and multiinput commutator connected to separate outputs of power dividers. Outputs of discrete phase inverter and commutator are connected through adder to network composed of amplitude detector, analog-to-digital converter, computation and control unit and former of controlling code connected in series. Outputs of former of controlling code are connected to controlling inputs of discrete phase inverter, commutator and controlled phase inverters. EFFECT: improved operational stability. 1 dwg
