Photonic beamsteering using true-time delay can be a viable solution to the beam-squint problem. We focus on an interesting approach to generating, transmitting, and steering the broad-band burst mode signals.Funk, E.E.Lee, C.H.Institute of Electric and Electronic Engineer...
Changing beam steering angle to ±60° and IBW to 200 MHz results in around 8.11° beam squint at worst case. It is evident that TTDs can be a better choice even in radar applications. Arguably, phase shifter dominance in ESAs can be explained by the fact that PSs have had wider ...
Introduction Phased-array antennas (PAA) consisting of elemental transmit/receive (T/R) modules offer many advantages, including steering without physical movement, accurate beam pointing and increased scan flexibility in two dimensions, reduced power consumption and weight, and precise elemental phase and...

Ku-band drive amplification and a 7-bit true-time-delay (TTD) function were realized as a part of a LTCC-based T/R module to increase integration. The 8-channel T/R module was fabricated and its key characteristics were measured, including a 3-bit (1/2/4 λ) TTD, 4-bit (0.25/0.5...
Lets say the signal from receiver n, sample m is called r[n,m], then the output of your beam-former without any delay (no steering) is out[m] = sum_n w[n] r[n.m] which says that each receiver r has a weighting function w. This weighting function is exactly like a FIR fi...
