Abstract

An electronic beam steering technique for active arrays uses a single balanced diode mixer phase-locked loop connected between adjacent oscillators. Each oscillator has its own antenna that radiates energy into free space so the phase difference between oscillators determines the direction of the main radiating beam. An offset voltage added to the phase-locked loop controls the phase difference and thus the beam direction, providing over 100.degree. of adjustable phase difference between adjacent oscillators.
