On the bent and bowl-shape distortion, the model is established of the relationship between the electromagnetic performance and the position error of the radiated elements. The method is presented of analyzing the far-field pattern of the distorted rectangular active phased array antenna. The analysis results of a planar phased array antenna with different distortions grades prove the validity of the model. Therefore, by the method, the antenna designers may set the reasonable requirement on the structural tolerance in manufacturing antenna.展开更多

The scheme is implemented by a dual coding genetic algorithm(GA). Phase and amplitude of array weight vectors for beam shaping are encoded by real coding and finite length binary coding,respectively,which,maintaining accuracy of results,reduces the amplitude dynamic range and improves the efficiency of power amplifiers. The presented algorithm,compared with complex-coded GA,increases the convergence rate due to the search space's decrease. In order to overcome the prematurity and obtain better global optimization or quasi-global optimization,a new dual coding GA based on "species diversity retention" strategy and adaptive crossover and mutation probability are presented.展开更多

Active antenna array based on coupled oscillators array has the virtue of low cost, high integration, and high efficiency. Traditional two dimensional coupled oscillators array has been arranged on rectangular lattices, and phase difference of adjacent elements is limited to [-90°, 90°]. Therefore, the beam scanning range is limited to [-30°, 30°] from normal for half wavelength element spacing. A new two dimensional coupled oscillators array with rhombus structure is presented. Phase control method and phase error of the array are also provided. Stability of the array is analyzed, and stable condition is given. When this coupled oscillators array with rhombus structure is used in active antenna array, theoretical results show that phase difference of adjacent elements reach the limit of [-180°, 180°] along the horizontal and vertical directions. Therefore, it has wider beam scanning range than that of a rectangular lattice structure.展开更多
