ARCHITECTURE OF A CIRCUIT WITH DISTRIBUTED MULTIPLEXED CONTROL SIGNALS AND ELEMENT SIGNALS FOR A PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC H01Q3/34 

FIELD: antenna technology.

SUBSTANCE: The invention relates to antenna technology, in particular to phased antenna arrays (PAA). The effect is achieved in that a phased array antenna system is proposed, containing a beamforming network for converting between a plurality of element signals on a plurality of element signal ports and a beam signal on a common signal port, the beamforming network being located in one or more layers of a printed circuit board (PCB) , a first signal routing circuit for supplying a control signal from the controller to a common signal port, and a plurality of control circuits located in the first layer of the printed circuit board, each control circuit having a first port connected to a corresponding element signal port of the plurality of element signal ports, and a second port connected to a respective antenna element, wherein the antenna elements corresponding to each of the control circuits are located in the first or second layer of the printed circuit board.

EFFECT: simplifying the design and reducing the weight and size characteristics of the PAA.
