APPARATUS FOR FORMING ACTIVE PHASED ANTENNA ARRAY BEAM PATTERN Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC G01S7/26 H01Q3/00 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus for forming the beam pattern of a active phased antenna arrays has N identical channels, each having series-connected intermediate frequency amplifiers, the input of which is the channel input, an analogue-to-digital converter, a switch, the second input of which is connected to the output of random-access memory, a digital heterodyne unit, a multiplier, the second input of which is connected to read only memory, and the quadrature output of which is the channel output. Outputs of all N channels are connected to inputs of a digital adder, the output of which is connected to series-connected digital filter, interfacing unit and optical transmitter, the output of which is the output of the apparatus.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities of the apparatus owing to a wider dynamic range, enabling debugging and control of the operating algorithm of the apparatus and longer transmission range of the generated data.
