Features of Using the Quadrature Amplitude Modulation for Forming the Directional Pattern of an Active Phased Antenna Array

  • Published:
Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

We consider technical aspects of using quadrature amplitude modulation in modern microwave active phased antenna arrays. A necessity of improving the accuracy of phase adjustment for realizing complex types of the amplitude-phase distribution of signals in the antenna aperture, which is required for forming the directional patterns with a low level of side lobes, is substantiated. Special attention is paid to experimental studies of the parameters of the beamforming elements of the transceiving units based on quadrature modulators. A possibility of significant (over an order of magnitude) improvement of the accuracy of setting the specified phase of a microwave signal compared with that ensured by discrete phase shifters is discussed. Conclusions are made on the expedience, especially in the millimeter-wave range, of developing the beamforming circuits based on quadrature amplitude modulation of the carrier for modern high-quality active phased antenna arrays.
