METHOD FOR MONITORING THE HEALTH OF CHANNELS OF PHASED ANTENNA ARRAYS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H01Q21/00 

FIELD: antenna technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to antenna technology and serves to monitor the health of the channels of passive and active phased antenna arrays (PAA). The effect is achieved by the fact that a method is proposed for monitoring the health of the channels of phased antenna arrays, in which the health of each of the channels of the phased antenna array is monitored, while changing the phases in the channels and measuring the signal parameters at the output of the phased antenna array, taking into account the health of the total channel, they check the serviceability of each channel, when the obtained values of the amplitudes of each channel are found within the established limits relative to the reference value for each of the channels, a decision is made on its serviceability or, otherwise, a decision on its failure, while the decision on serviceability is made according to a given criterion.

EFFECT: ensuring the possibility of monitoring the health of the channels of active and passive phased arrays both in the reception mode and in the signal transmission mode while increasing the reliability of control.
