As phased arrays begin to include more mixed-signal and digital content, many engineers can benefit from a more intuitive explanation of phased-array antenna patterns. It turns out that many analogies exist between the behavior of phased-array antennas and the discrete time-sampled systems that the mixed-signal and digital engineers work with every day.
In Part 4 of this series on phased-array antenna patterns, we covered grating lobes. Part 5 turns its attention to beam squint: changes in beam angle as a function of frequency...
This sixth installment closes out the series on phased-array antenna patterns with a discussion of antenna sidelobes and the effect of tapering across an array.
RF power sensors are essential for accurately measuring RF components like filters and amplifiers, focusing on parameters such as insertion loss and gain. Employing instruments...
