Abstract:
This thesis investigates optical feed methods for phased array antennas. The technical and practical limitations are analyzed and an optimum design is determined. This optimum optical feed is a two-beam interferometric approach which uses acoustooptic phase control. The theory is derived; a computer model is developed; and the limitations are determined. Design modifications are suggested which reduce limitations and greatly extend the range of applications.

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'exploiter les phénomènes des ondes de fuite pour améliorer les performances des antennes classiques à ouverture pour les applications spatiales. Ici, nous considérons des configurations planaires où les ondes de fuite sont excitées entre un plan de masse et un superstrat partiellement réfléchissant. Des réseaux de petites ouvertures sur le plan de masse sont utilisés pour alimenter les antennes considérées. Les structures avec superstrat sont développées en configuration réseaux simples ou réseaux à commande de phase, considérées intéressantes en termes de flexibilité du système pour des liens satellitaires de nouvelle génération.Pour étudier efficacement ces antennes, nous avons développé un outil d'analyse basé sur une approche spectrale avec fonction de Green. Cet outil permet d'analyser les structures proposées en prenant en compte l'impact du couplage mutuel entre les éléments sur les performances de rayonnement avec une réduction du temps de calcul et d'utilisation de mémoire.L'augmentation du gain des structures à ondes de fuite peut ouvrir la voie à la réduction du nombre d'éléments des réseaux associés, et donc des commandes en amplitude et phase. Dans une configuration à ondes de fuite, chaque élément du réseau rayonne avec une ouverture équivalente plus grande, augmentant ainsi l'espacement entre les éléments sans affecter le gain global de la structure. Comme largement expliqué dans le manuscrit, les solutions à ondes de fuite représentent par conséquent un avantage majeur pour les antennes du segment utilisateur.En plus de l'amélioration du gain, la technologie à ondes de fuite peut être efficacement exploitée pour synthétiser le diagramme de rayonnement, en choisissant correctement les paramètres de conception de l'antenne. Cette caractéristique peut être utilisée dans les réseaux à commande de phase, pour produire un diagramme d'élément qui minimise les pertes par dépointage et qui filtre les lobes de réseaux. Une procédure de synthèse pour des antennes réseaux raréfiés à ondes de fuite est ainsi présentée dans le manuscrit, ainsi qu'une nouvelle configuration de réseaux avec superstrat irrégulier. Ce dernier permet de réduire les lobes secondaires de l'antenne en utilisant une excitation uniforme. Cette dernière configuration montre clairement que la capacité de modifier le diagramme de rayonnement est la caractéristique la plus attrayante des antennes planaires à ondes de fuite, pour être utilisée dans des solutions de réseaux à commande de phase
The objective of this thesis is to exploit the leaky-wave phenomena to enhance the performance of classical aperture antennas for space applications. Here, we consider planar configurations where the leaky modes are excited between a ground plane and a partially reflective superstrate. Arrangements of small apertures opening on the ground plane are used to feed the antennas under study. The superstrate-like leaky-wave structures are developed in array or phased array configurations, considered of interest in terms of flexibility of the system for next generation satellite links. In order to efficiently study planar leaky-wave arrays, we have developed an analysis tool based on a Green's function spectral approach. The developed tool allows to precisely analyze the proposed structure by taking into account the impact of the mutual coupling among the elements on the radiation performance of the whole antenna. In addition, it can handle extremely large structures in terms of wavelengths with a small computational effort with respect to commercial tools. In particular, the gain enhancement of leaky-based structures can pave the way to the reduction of the number of elements of the associated phased arrays. In a leaky-wave configuration each element of the array will radiate with a larger equivalent aperture allowing a larger spacing among elements without affecting the final gain of the whole structure. This aspect is particularly important in the case of phased arrays, where phase shifters and control cells are, typically, the most expensive components of the system. As extensively explained in the manuscript, antennas for user segment might find the highest benefit by using leaky-wave solutions. Besides the gain enhancement, the leaky-wave technology can be effectively exploited to conveniently shape the radiation pattern by properly engineering the design parameters of the antenna. This capability can be used in phased arrays to generate a convenient element pattern to minimize the scan losses and filter the grating lobes appearing in the visible space when dealing with periodicities larger than a wavelength. Therefore, a synthesis procedure for thinned leaky-wave arrays is presented in the manuscript. Also, a novel array configuration, the irregular superstrate array, is presented. The irregular superstrate allows the reduction of the side lobes of the antenna below -20 dB in the considered 2.5 % band, using a uniform excitation. This last configuration clearly shows that the shaping capability of leaky-wave antennas is the most appealing feature to be used in phased array solutions

Abstract:
Phased-array antennas are commonplace in the radiofrequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Exploitation of phasing effects between multiple antennas facilitates a wide range of applications, including synthetic-aperture radar, beam forming, and beam scanning. For the first time, the phased addition of multiple dipole antennas is demonstrated in the infrared, at a wavelength of 10.6 micrometers. Coplanar strip lines are used to interconnect the antennas, preserving the phase of the individual contributions. Several different proof-of-concept experiments are performed, using planar antennas fabricated with direct-write electron-beam lithography. Infrared-frequency currents from two dipole antennas are summed together at a common feedpoint and dissipated in a bolometric load. Angular pattern measurements show that the direction of maximum gain depends on the phase difference between the antennas. As more antennas are added together in phase, beam narrowing is observed in the angular response. Another experiment uses a two-dipole array to directly measure the magnitude of the mutual coherence function, at the plane of the antennas, of a spatially incoherent narrowband source. Measurements are also made of the broadside antenna response comparing air-side and substrate-side situations for a dipole antenna fabricated on a hemispherical immersion lens. In all cases, the measured behavior is confirmed by electromagnetic analysis.

New technologies are sought to meet the requirements of evolving telemetry capabilities such as new operating bands, increased test article and ground segment collaboration, and on-the-fly quality of service (QOS) management. Smart antennas may contribute to this evolution by directing signal energy where and when it is needed. Direct spatial antenna modulation (DSAM) represents a new approach to cost-effective smart antennas potentially offering benefits such as post-amplifier modulation, polarization reconfigurability, phase-shifterless phased arrays, oscillator-less frequency conversion, and pre-receiver processing gain. The basic DSAM approach has recently been proven through analysis, simulation, and prototyping, with significant implications for future capabilities.

Thesis (MTech (Electrical Engineering))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2009
This thesis presents the design, analysis and implementation of an eight-element phased array antenna for wideband X-band applications. The microstrip phased array antenna is designed using eight quasi-Yagi antennas in a linear configuration and is printed on RT/Duroid 6010LM substrate made by Rogers Corporation. The feeding network entails a uniform beamforming network as well as a non-uniform -25 dB Dolph-Tschebyscheff beamforming network, each with and without 45° delay lines, generating a squinted beam 14° from boresight. Antenna parameters such as gain, radiation patterns and impedance bandwidth (BW) are investigated in the single element as well as the array environment. Mutual coupling between the elements in the array is also predicted. The quasi-Yagi radiator employed as radiating element in the array measured an exceptional impedance bandwidth (BW) of 50% for a S11 < -10 dB from 6 GHz to 14 GHz, with 3 dB to 5 dB of absolute gain in the frequency range from 8 GHz to 11.5 GHz. The uniform broadside array measured an impedance BW of 20% over the frequency band and a gain between 9 dB to 11 dB, whereas the non-uniform broadside array measured a gain of 9 dB to 11 dB and an impedance BW of 14.5%. Radiation patterns are stable across the X-band. Beam scanning is illustrated in the E-plane for the uniform array as well as for the non-uniform array.

Abstract:
This thesis considers problems related to the design and the analysis of wide-angle scanning phased arrays. The goals of the thesis are the design and analysis of antenna elements suitable for wide-angle scanning array antennas, and the study of scan blindness effects and edge effects for this type of antennas. Wide-angle scanning arrays are useful in radar applications, and the designs considered in the thesis are intended for an airborne radar antenna.After a study of the wide-angle scanning limits of three candidate elements, the tapered-slot was chosen for the proposed application.A tapered-slot antenna element was designed by using the infinitive array approach and the resulting element is capable of scanning out to 60° from broadside in all scan planes for a bandwidth of 2.5:1 and an active reflection coefficient less than -10 dB. This design was implemented on an experimental antenna consisting of 256 elements.The predicted performance of the antenna was then verified by measuring the coupling coefficients and the embedded element patterns, and the measurements agreed well with the numerical predictions.Since the radar antenna is intended for applications where stealth is important, an absorbing layer is positioned on top of the ground plane to reduce the radar cross section for the antenna's cross-polarization.This absorbing layer attenuates guided waves that otherwise lead to scan blindness, but does not adversely affect the antenna performance for the desired scan directions and frequencies.The highest frequency limit of the tapered-slot element is set by scan blindnesses. One of these scan blindnesses is found to be unique to tapered-slot elements positioned in triangular grids. This scan blindness is studied in detail and a scan blindness condition is presented and evaluated.The evaluation of the experimental antenna shows that edge effects reduce the H-plane performance of the central elements.These edge effects are further studied and characterized, by comparing the scattering parameters for finite-by-infinite arrays and infinite arrays.In this way it is possible to divide the edge effects into two categories: those caused by finite excitation, and those caused by perturbed currents due to the geometry of the edge. A finite difference time domain code with time shift boundaries is used to compute the active reflection coefficients needed to compute the scattering parameters, but this code cannot directly compute the active reflection coefficient for all the required phase shifts.Hence, an additional method is presented that makes it possible to compute arbitrary phase shifts between the elements using any numerical code with limited scan directions.

Currently, all the control data behind the RF front-end modules in phased array radars is transmitted digitally and simultaneously by means of optical ber, resulting in a massive distribution network. The design of cheaper radars requires alternative ways of transmission to be explored. An intuitive and rather straight approach is to take advantage of the already existent RF layer used for the distribution of the radar pulse. The aim of this thesis work is to investigate OFDM as a modulation option for that approach and to determine whether or not it is a viable one. As proof of concept, experimental results are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
The mutual coupling in phased array is a well-known phenomenon. It affects the active element pattern of the array as the phase of the individual element is altered. In an array that has many elements, the effect is identical for all the elements that are nearer to the center of the antenna, thus allowing a more predictable scan performance with respect to the phase of the elements. However, in a small array that has only three elements, the active element pattern for the elements at the end can be significantly different from the center element and this affects the predictability of operations such as direction finding. The thesis investigates two ways that can potentially reduce or at least control the mutual coupling in small arrays. The first method simply adds a dummy element with a special load condition to each end of the array to make the edge element "feel" as if there are more elements next to it. The second method uses a passive feedback circuit to both monitor and correct the magnitude and phase of the mutual coupling at the input of each array element. A hybrid ring is attached to each of the elements to monitor the amount of interference received by that element. Simulation results for the dummy element method shows that some reduction in phase error can be achieved if the spacing and length of the element are selected properly. The compensation network approach relies on an efficient two-port array element. The research has focused on the design of a two-port printed circuit dipole that could be used in such an array. The dipole was designed, simulated, and fabricated. Future research will use this element in a compensation network.

Full text
Abstract:
Infrared (IR) dipole antenna-coupled metal-oxide-metal (MOM) tunnel diodes provide a unique detection mechanism that allows for determination of the polarization and wavelength of an optical field. By integrating the MOM diode into a phased-array antenna, the angle of arrival and degree of coherence of received IR radiation can be determined. The angular response characteristics of IR dipole antennas are determined by boundary conditions imposed by the surrounding dielectric or conductive environment on the radiated fields. To explore the influence of the substrate configuration, single dipole antennas are fabricated on both planar and hemispherical lens substrates. Measurements demonstrate that the angular response can be tailored by the thickness of the electrical isolation stand-off layer on which the detector is fabricated and/or the inclusion of a ground plane. Directional detection of IR radiation is achieved with a pair of dipole antennas coupled to a MOM diode through a coplanar strip transmission line. The direction of maximum angular response is altered by varying the position of the diode along the transmission line connecting the antenna elements. By fabricating the devices on a quarter wave layer above a ground plane, narrow beam widths of 35?? full width at half maximum and reception angles of ??50?? are achievable with minimal side-lobe contributions. Phased-array antennas can also be used to assess the degree of coherence of a partially coherent field. For a two-element array, the degree of coherence is a measure of the correlation of electric fields received by the antennas as a function of the element separation.

Abstract:
This project presents a novel copper DC-contact RF-MEMS cantilever switch to operate with microstrip phased array antennas for the main frequency of operation of 12.5GHz. Effective performance, low cost, compact size, and full integration are the main requirements that phased array antennas and RF-MEMS technologies should meet to make an impact on the market. Then, a cost-effective all-monolithically integrated architecture of phased array antenna with RF-MEMS switches on a commercial printed circuit board (PCB) laminate has been developed as a solution. A new manufacturing technique using photolithography processes has been developed for RF-MEMS cantilever switches based on thin copper films (1um-2um) on a PCB to address the cost and full integration requirements. This technique has allowed fabrication of various switches, of which the mechanical and electromagnetic performance have been measured and found to be suitable for operation with phased arrays. The accomplishment of an all-monolithically integrated architecture has been demonstrated by means of simulations, having been able to electronically steer the main beam to different positions with acceptable radiation characteristics at 12.5GHz. Therefore, in this work it has been possible to demonstrate that good performance and cost-effective phased array antennas are potentially viable by monolithically integrating reliable RF-MEMS on commercial PCBs. Having reliable RF-MEMS built on PCB, there is potential to extend the areas of applications of this type of RF-MEMS, not only for phased array antennas but also for other attractive commercial applications. The research carried out in this project, moreover, represents an important contribution for further development of satisfactory RF-MEMS at very low cost for high frequency systems.

Abstract:
The interest in creating and detecting electromagnetic waves carryingangular momentum in such a way that they form helical wavefronts,so called "twisted light'', has increased in recent decades.One possible way of generating such waves at radio frequenciesis to use a circular phased antenna array, where a larger relativephasing of the antenna elements corresponds to more twist of thewavefront per wavelength.However, analytical computations of the radiated power, and in turn theamountof emitted angular momentum, displays a quite rapid decrease with increasedphasing. This decrease in intensity may cause problems when alarge range of twisting is desired; for instance, as a means to encodeand transmit information. We have found that the decrease in radiatedpower does not haveany explicit relation to the beam being endowed with angular momentum.Instead, the decrease in emitted power can be explained byelectromagnetic couplingof the antenna elements in the array and that energy conservationholds, because an equal decrease in power is seen at the input of the array.We also show that a similar discrepancy is seen between the incomingand the total diffracted power in Young's classic double slit experiment,which, having only two slits, cannot provide any twisted light.The source of that discrepancy should be of a different origin.Although an explanation in terms of surface plasmons was recently givenin the literature, that is only applicable to metal screens. A general explanation of the problem therefore remains to be found.

Dual-polarized phased-array weather radar antennas, however, demand careful assessment of the x-polar characteristics. The low x-pol radiation of polarimetric weather radar antennas is of significant importance for the proper classification and qualitative estimation of hydrometeors in illuminate volumes. Unfortunately, array antennas display changing x-pol contributions during the electronical beam steering process. Typically, the x-pol radiation will be substantially increased in the co-polar main beam direction but also in other angular directions. Consequently, it is a vital challenge to design arrays with low x-pol contribution during beam steering. In this dissertation a new phased-array weather radar concept is developed. The phased array system configuration can be used to substitute state-of-the-art weather radars with reflector antennas. Furthermore, a dense network of these phased-array radars can be used to substitute a network of high power weather radars, which are used nowadays. The research focus of this work is the development of a dual-polarized microstrip patch antenna with phased-array capability and very high polarization purity. In this regard, new graphical techniques are developed to investigate the causes and the reduction of the x-pol radiation of isolated (stand-alone) microstrip patch antennas. To further reduce the x-pol contribution of antennas, optimization methods have been investigated, evaluated and developed. For the first time in literature, differential-feed antenna arrays are compared to excitation optimized single-feed antenna arrays in their x-pol contribution in the boresight direction and during beam steering. In particular, two dual-polarized 4x8 antenna arrays have been developed and simulated by CST MWS, produced as multilayer PCB and verified at the compact antenna test range at RWTH Aachen. The results show that the x-pol contributions of arrays are significantly reduced for differentially-feed antenna arrays, even when beam steering is performed. During the azimuth scan of 120_ a record setting x-pol suppression of -45 dB and -36 dB could be measured for the horizontal and vertical polarization channels, respectively.
Wetterradarsysteme mit phasengesteuerten Antennen stellen eine echte Alternative zu Wetterradarsystemen mit mechanisch drehenden Reflektorantennen dar. Dual-polarisierte phasengesteuerte Antennen müssen jedoch sehr genau in ihrem Kreuzpolarisationsverhalten verifiziert werden, um für den Wetterradarbereich von Nutzen zu sein. Die Unterdrückung der kreuzpolaren Anteile von Radarantennen ist von fundamentaler Bedeutung, um Hydrometeore mit Hilfe von polarimetrischen Wetterradarsystemen klassifizieren und qualitativ bestimmen zu können. Die hohe Anforderung an Polarisationsreinheit ist mit aktuell erhältlichen Arraydesigns nur schwierig zu realisieren, da sich die Kreuzpolarisationsunterdrückung während des elektronischen Schwenks der Hauptkeule signifikant verschlechtert. Diese Dissertation stellt ein Wetterradar Systemkonzept mit phasengesteuerter Gruppenantenne vor, welches die aktuell genutzten Wetterradare mit Reflektorantennen ablösen könnte. Der Fokus der Arbeit wurde auf die Entwicklung einer Dual-polarimetrischen, polarisationsreinen und phasengesteuerten Mikrostreifenleiterantennen gelegt. Hierbei wurden neue grafische Verfahren entwickelt, die es ermöglichen, die Generierung der kreuzpolaren Anteile von isolierten Patchantennen (Einzelpatche) zu erklären und zu minimieren. Um die kreuzpolaren Anteile weiter herabzusetzen wurden Optimierungsverfahren für Arrayantennen erforscht, bewertet und neu entwickelt. Zum ersten Mal wurden differentiell gespeiste mit einzeln gespeisten Antennenarrays in ihrem Kreuzpolarisationsverhalten während des elektronischen Schwenks der Hauptkeule verglichen. Zwei Dual- polarimetrische 4x8 Antennenarrays (differentiell gespeist und mit optimierter Phasenansteuerung) wurden zu diesem Zweck mittels CST MWS entworfen, simuliert, als Multilagenplatine gefertigt und an der Antennentestanlage der RWTH Aachen vermessen. Die Resultate zeigen, dass die Kreuzpolarisationsanteile bei differentiell gespeisten Mikrostreifenleiterantennen in Gruppenkonfiguration, selbst beim elektronischen Schwenk der Hauptkeule, signifikant minimiert werden konnten. Für einen azimutalen Scanbereich von 120_ konnte eine exzellente Kreuzpolarisationsunterdrückung zwischen -45 dB und -36 dB messtechnisch für den horizontalen und vertikalen Polarisationskanal nachgewiesen werden.

Abstract:
The research presented in this thesis leverages silicon-germanium (SiGe) heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) technology to develop microwave front-end electronics for active phased-array antennas. The highly integrated electronics will reduce costs and improve the feasibility of snow measurements from airborne and space-borne platforms. Chapter 1 presents the motivation of this research, focusing on the technological needs of snow measurement missions. The fundamentals and benefits of SiGe HBTs and phased-array antennas for these missions are discussed as well. Chapter 2 discusses SiGe power amplifier design considerations for radar systems. Basic power amplifier design concepts, power limitations in SiGe HBTs, and techniques for increasing the output power of SiGe HBT PAs are reviewed. Chapter 3 presents the design and characterization of a robust medium power X-band SiGe power amplifier for integration into a SiGe transmit/receive module. The PA design process applies the concepts presented in Chapter 2. A detailed investigation into measurement-to-simulation discrepancies is outlined as well. Chapter 4 discusses the development and characterization of a single-chip X-band SiGe T/R module for integration into a very thin, lightweight active phased array antenna panel. The system-on-package antenna combines the high performance and integration potential of SiGe technologies with advanced substrates and packaging techniques to develop a high performance scalable antenna panel using relatively low-cost materials and silicon-based electronics. The antenna panel presented in this chapter will enable airborne SCLP measurements and advance the technology towards an eventual space-based SCLP measurement instrument that will satisfy a critical Earth science need. Finally, Chapter 5 provides concluding remarks and discusses future research directions.

Abstract:
Phased array systems present desirable antenna features like beam steering and high gain. However, due to their high cost, civilian applications cannot generally afford them, restricting their usage to military. Hardware involved in phased array systems is expensive and the number of devices is high, since there is usually one device of each kind (filter, amplifier, shifter..) for each individual antenna. Alternative techniques, mainly based on TDMA, have been developed looking for lowering the number of elements in the system. However, these approaches increase the system bandwidth, multiplying it by a factor of $N$ (Number of antennas), as they use redundant information. In this thesis, a novel phased receiver, based on an economic sampling scheme is proposed. All the elements in an array receive a common information (signal amplitude) and a unique information (relative delay between elements). The idea is to sample only the information required to reconstruct the transmitted signal and discard the redundant one. This idea is achieved by sampling just one antenna during each RF cycle and then gathering all the information taking in account the relative delay between different antenna elements. The proposed technique is mathematically proved and validated by simulation. As a first approach, the equation for the received signal in the frequency domain is derived for a linear array. The radiation pattern and the received signals are simulated for equally spaced planar and linear arrays. Bandwidth signal transmission is demonstrated and tapering effects are shown. After that, the proposed technique is expanded for arbitrary structures and the resulting system bandwidth is enhanced by using different sampling order sequences.

Abstract:
The focus of this dissertation is on the development and circuit modeling of planar series-fed, linear- and circular-polarized microstrip aperture-coupled antennas and N-element arrays operating in C-band. These arrays were designed to be used as part of airborne or land-based frequency-hopped communication systems. One of the main objectives of this work was to maintain a constant beam angle over the frequency band of operation. In order to achieve constant beam pointing versus frequency, an anti-symmetric series-fed approach using lumped-element circuit models was developed. This series feed architecture also balances the power radiated by each element in the N-element arrays. The proposed series-fed approach was used in the development of four-element series-fed aperture-coupled arrays with 15% 10 dB impedance bandwidth centered at 5 GHz and a gain of 11.5 dB, to construct an omni-directional radiator. Omni-directional radiators with pattern frequency stability are desired in a multitude of applications; from defense in tactical communications, information gathering, and detection of signal of interest to being part of sensors in medical applications. A hexagonal assembly of six series-fed microstrip aperture-coupled four-element arrays was used to achieve the omni-directional radiation with 0.6 dB peak to peak difference across 360˚ broadside pattern and 0.6 dB gain variation at the specific azimuth angle across 15% impedance bandwidth. Given that each of these six arrays can be individually controlled, this configuration allows for individual pattern control and reconfiguration of the omni-directional pattern with increased gain at specific azimuth angles and the ability to form a directional pattern by employing a fewer number of arrays. Incorporating a beam-forming network or power distribution network is also possible. Wide 3 dB circular polarization (CP) bandwidth was achieved without external couplers and via only a single feed with a unique Z-slot aperture-coupled microstrip antenna. A single RHCP Z-slot aperture-coupled antenna has ∼10% CP and 10 dB impedance bandwidth. The series-fed network consisting of lumped elements, open-circuited stubs and transmission lines was subsequently developed to maintain more than 5% CP and 10% 10 dB impedance bandwidth in the series-fed four-element Z-slot aperture-coupled CP array that could also be used for-omni-directional radiation.

Abstract:
In this work, the synthesis of clustered phased array antennas characterized by an irregular organization of tiles modules is addressed. By exploiting tiling theorems drawn from the mathematical theory, optimal and sub-optimal methods for the optimization of tiles arrangements and the corresponding excitations minimizing user-defined cost functions are presented. An enumerative approach able to retrieve the optimal clustering providing the maximum aperture coverage and the best radiation performance is proposed to deal with the synthesis of low/medium-size arrays. Based on the same optimal theorems and still exploiting the algorithmic procedures at the basis of the enumerative approach, an innovative schemata-bas ed optimization method is introduced for designing large arrays, as well. A set of numerical examples and full-wave simulations, concerned with different aperture sizes, is reported to assess the effectiveness, the limitations, and the ranges of computationally-admissible applicability of the proposed methods.
