Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of phased array antennas, in particular to a phased array antenna capable of switching left and right circular polarizations. Background technique [0002] The phased array antenna is an array antenna composed of many antenna units arranged in an array, and beam scanning and beam forming are realized by adjusting the feeding phase of each antenna unit. It has the advantages of small size, light weight, easy to form multiple beams, the ability to realize rapid changes in antenna beam pointing and beam shape, and the ability to adjust the communication capacity between beams. These advantages make it stable for tracking multiple high-speed moving targets. In addition, the phased array antenna can also realize the synthesis of signal power in space, so as to obtain a large EIRP (isotropic equivalent radiated power), which is to increase the system range, improve the system measurement accuracy and observation i...
