Phased Array Antenna Design
Learn how to use the phased array analysis to simulate phased antenna arrays, different phased array configurations, modeling phased array impairments
About this course
+ Learning Objectives
- The Phased Array Analysis
- The Phased Array Analysis, how it works and its many measurements. Tx and Rx and comparisons to Spectrasys RF System Analysis.
- Lab 1: You will start with using Spectrasys antenna array, extract the 3D beam pattern, then build the same design using Phased Array parts and compare results.
- Phased Array Configurations
- The Phased Array Visualizer, different antenna geometries and their properties, tapering, nonlinearities, element patterns and mutual coupling.
- Lab 2: You will evaluate how compression, AM-to-PM, saturation and active loading affects the performance of the design. You will be looking at the taper plot, the phi cut directivity graph and the far field 3D pattern. You will load antenna element models and compare them against the isotropic antenna element model.
- Modeling Phased Array Impairments
- Squinting, Monte Carlo with Errors and Element Failures, harmonic radiation, quantization and polarization.
- Lab 3: You will be using a design consisting of an 8x8 uniform rectangular phased array in receiver mode as a baseline to examine how phase shift and attenuator errors, and element failures, including quantization, affect the array’s performance.
