AI Technical Summary
Existing electronic beam-steering antennas face challenges in high-frequency operations due to the large size of phase-shifters, limited angle adjustment in lens-type beamformers, and mechanical complexity in mechanical steering, making them unfeasible for high-frequency mm-wave operation.
An electronic beam-steering antenna configuration using a series feed network and parallel feed network with voltage-controlled oscillators (VCOs) to control beam pointing angles, eliminating the need for large phase-shifters and allowing beam steering without frequency limitations, achieved by combining frequencies of input signals at mixer elements.
Enables robust beam scanning at high frequencies with reduced component size, feed complexity, signal loss, and power consumption, while maintaining a constant output frequency and allowing two-dimensional beam steering.
