A radiating phase-shifting cell is designed to favour the excitation of an equivalent resonance of the “slot” type in a first part of the phase cycle, and to favour an equivalent resonance of the “microstrip” type in a second part of the phase cycle. This property notably allows the bandwidth of the phase-shifting cells to be optimized. A phase range of 360° can in effect be segmented into two sub-ranges of around 180°. This segmentation into two sub-ranges is made possible by the complementarity of the resonant modes of the slot or microstrip type. The radiating phase-shifting cell is notably applicable to reflector arrays for an antenna designed to be installed on a space craft such as a telecommunications satellite or on a terrestrial terminal for satellite telecommunications or broadcasting systems.

The invention provides a carrier phase cycle slip inhibition method based on phase error amplitude-limiting processing. According to main factors causing carrier phase cycle slip, a carrier wave tracking loop easily produces phase jump when a tracking loop produces dramatical phase jitter or concentrated emergence of the same phase deviations of multiple symbols in a short time.

Large phase jitter and the phase deviations of the same continuous symbols can be avoided by conducting amplitude limiting on instantaneous phase discrimination errors and accumulation values of phase discrimination errors, and accordingly the occurrence probability of the phase cycle slip of the loop is can be reduced. Compared with a traditional carrier wave tracking method, the occurrence probability of the phase cycle slip of the carrier wave tracking loop can be reduced by 67% under the condition that the dynamic conditions of the loop are not considered, and the occurrence probability of the phase cycle slip of the carrier wave tracking loop can be reduced by 38% under the condition that the Doppler frequency of input signals is constant.
