The application belongs to the technical field of
phased array antennas, and particularly relates to a 128-beam
phased array based on 16 / 32 subarray division. The
phased array is composed of a large-scale
antenna array, a reconfigurable subarray division network, a subarray-level
processing unit, a global beam synthesis unit, a
beam control unit and a calibration unit. The subarray division network supports dynamic configuration of the
antenna array into 16 or 32 subarrays, the subarray-level
processing unit performs digital beam forming on the signals of each subarray to generate subarray-level beams, the global beam synthesis unit performs secondary synthesis on all the subarray-level beams to obtain 128 independent beams, the
beam control unit provides two-stage weighting coefficients, and the calibration unit realizes real-time calibration of channel amplitude and phase. The application realizes optimal balance between
hardware complexity and beam forming capability through 16 / 32 subarray flexible switching, and is suitable for large-scale multi-beam application scenarios such as low-
orbit satellite communication and
radar.
