This is the second article of our three-part series on phased array antenna patterns. In Part 1, we introduced the phased array steering concept and looked at the influencers on array gain. In Part 2, we’ll discuss grating lobes and beam squint. Grating
The solution of this differential equation is expressed as a sum of the eigenfunctions of the differential operator for a finite length array with one oscillator detuned. The dynamic behavior of the aperture phase for beam steering is obtained by superposing two of the Green's function solutions ...
Phased array ultrasonic testing (PAUT) is an ultrasonic imaging detection technology that implements functions such as ultrasonic beam movement, deflection, and focusing by applying different time delay rules, that is, the focal law, to different units of the transducer array when emitting or receivin...
We have already defined beam angle θ0 as a function of phase shift between elements ΔΦ; therefore, we can also write the normalized antenna factor as Equation 12. The conditions assumed in the array factor equation include: The elements are equally spaced. There is an equal phase shift be...
Ultrasonic beam steering without any moving optical component is necessary to overcome the limitations of conventional scanning technology. The ability to steer ultrasonic beam in different directions within the acousto-optic crystal using phased array transducers provides a unique device for flexible and ...

The geometry of the proposed POPAs is fully planar with a sub-micron profile and the light from a fiber can be directly coupled into the plasmonic nanostrip waveguide array. The beam of the proposed POPA is steerable and a high directivity in the far-field area can be achieved. Moreover,...

3.2.3.2 Phased array radar Phased array radar is a phased array antenna (PAA) radar and an electronic scanning radar. If antenna uses electronic approaches to realize the steering or scanning of antenna beam in space, this kind of antenna is called electronic scanning antenna or electronically sc...
A beam steered phased array antenna and system for including the same are described. In one embodiment, the antenna apparatus comprises an array of a plurality of antenna elements,
