Abstract
A phased array antenna includes a transmission line network, e.g. optical or coaxial cable network, and a reference signal generator to provide a reference frequency signal to each of the antenna radiating elements. A phase calibrator generates a calibration signal. e.g. a swept frequency signal, on the transmission line network which is also reflected to create a reflected calibration signal. The phase calibrator determines a frequency difference between the calibration signal and the reflected calibration signal at each of a plurality of taps, and outputs a delay measurement signal to the antenna radiating elements, e.g. via an antenna controller, for adjusting a phase of the reference frequency signal.
