Abstract
A method of implementing a combiner or divider network with compact layout design is proposed. A phased-array antenna comprises a plurality of antenna elements, a plurality of phase shifters, and a combiner and/or divider network. The phased-array antenna is capable of forming narrowly focused beams. The array of antenna elements is applied with a set of combined beam coefficients to steer the direction of the beam and to shape the beamwidth to a desired width. The combiner and/or divider network is implemented with a compact layout design, where each combiner or divider in the network is designed with a flexible terminal location to fit different circuits easily to reduce trace loss in the network and to reduce the overall layout size.
