Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft eine phasengesteuerte Antenne, insbesondere für den Radarfrequenzbereich, zumindest bestehend aus einer vorgebbaren Anzahl von zeilen- und/oder matrixförmig angeordneten Sende-/Empfangsstrahlerelementen, einem Verteiler- sowie Phasensteller-Netzwerk und einer Sende-/Empfangsumschaltung. Diese enthält eine Serienspeisung, bestehend aus einem Wellenleiter mit Ein-/Auskoppelstellen, an welche das Verteiler- sowie Phasensteller-Netzwerk angekoppelt ist und außerdem die Sende-/Empfangsanordnungen. Mit dieser Anordnung entfällt vorteilhafterweise ein ansonsten benötigter Sende-/Empfangsumschalter, beispielsweise ein Zirkulator.

Figure 00000001
The invention relates to a phase-controlled antenna, in particular for the radar frequency range, at least consisting of a predeterminable number of line and / or matrix-shaped transmit / receive radiator elements, a distributor and phase adjuster network and a transmit / receive switchover. This contains a series supply, consisting of a waveguide with coupling / decoupling points, to which the distributor and phaser network is coupled and also the transmission / reception arrangements. This arrangement advantageously eliminates the otherwise required transmission / reception switch, for example a circulator.
