WAVEGUIDE SIMULATOR OF PHASED ANTENNA ARRAY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: microwave antenna equipment. SUBSTANCE: device is designed as waveguide piece, which contains phased antenna array and detector. Goal of invention is achieved by two-layer design of waveguide simulator. External layer is designed as absorbing coating, which outputs no echo. Inner layer is made from dielectric. Device uses effect of complete reflection of electromagnetic wave from dielectric surface. EFFECT: possibility to model phased antenna array with finite number of elements, i.e. antenna array of given finite aperture. 2 dwg
