DISTRIBUTED BEAM CONTROL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC H01Q3/30 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used to create beam control systems (BCS) of phased antenna arrays (FAA) with a command control method, built on a modular basis, with increased requirements for beam switching speed. The distributed BCS of the FAA contains, at least, one beam control unit 4, consisting of a beam control controller 15, a temperature sensor 20, an electrically erasable flash memory (EEFM) 19, a phase shift magnet reversal control (RC) 6, coupled to, at least, one pulse driver 18 comprising a demagnetizing current sensor and a transmitting control pulses to the winding of the RC 6. A new one is the integration of the beam control node (BCU) 4 into, at least, one beam control unit 1, which additionally includes a memory and an exchange node 3 comprising a controller 10, an EEFM 11, a signal switch 17 is included in the BCU 4, a secondary magnetizing power supply 22, a secondary demagnetization supply source 23. The input of the secondary demagnetization supply source 23 is connected to the output of the secondary magnetizing power supply 22, the outputs of the power supplies are connected to the corresponding inputs of the pulse formers 18.

EFFECT: increasing the accuracy of the phase setting in ferrite phase shifters, enabling the creation of phased antenna arrays with a large number of phase shifters, improving performance.
