    摘要: Systems and apparatuses include a radiating element, a radio frequency integrated circuit and a feed manifold. The radio frequency integrated circuit includes a splitter/combiner in communication with the radiating element, a transmit beam gain control block in communication with the splitter/combiner and structured to apply a Taylor weighting distribution, a receive beam gain control block in communication with the splitter/combiner and structured to apply a Bayliss weighting distribution, a transmit beam steering control block in communication with the transmit beam gain control block, and a receive beam steering control block in communication with the receive beam gain control block. The feed manifold is in communication with the transmit beam steering control block and the receive beam steering control block.

    摘要: A wideband receiver includes an active splitter that splits an electronic signal into first and second signals, first and second reconfigurable RF filters, and first and second reconfigurable IF filters. The first reconfigurable RF filter filters the first signal responsive to a first control signal and mixes the first filtered signal and an in-phase LO signal component to output a first IF signal. The second reconfigurable RF filter filters the second signal responsive to a second control signal to generate a second filtered signal and mixes the second filtered signal and a quadrature phase LO signal component to output a second IF signal. The first reconfigurable IF filter filters the first IF signal responsive to a third control signal to generate a first filtered IF signal. The second reconfigurable IF filter filters the second IF signal responsive to a fourth control signal to generate a second filtered IF signal.

    摘要: A system with an acoustic filter array for analog processing of radio signals above 8 GHz includes a receiver and a downconverter to down-convert an incoming signal into an intermediate frequency range (IF). Downconverter includes suppression of local oscillator image. An active manifold splits the IF signal into separate parallel feeds into individual acoustic filter elements in an acoustic filter array. Acoustic filter array provides individually channelized IF outputs. Each IF manifold feed and corresponding acoustic filter output channel is associated with an analog-to-digital converter or system switch.

    摘要: An ESA system includes first antennas, second antennas, a power supply, a transmit module and/or receive module, and a controller. The first antennas operate over a first frequency bandwidth from a first frequency to a second frequency greater than the first frequency. The second antennas operate over a second frequency bandwidth from the first frequency to a third frequency less than the second frequency. The transmit module receives DC power from the power supply and provides RF power corresponding to at least one first control point to the antennas. The controller adjusts the at least one first control point based on a predetermined ratio of a first RF signal strength associated with the first antennas to a second RF signal strength associated with the second antennas, a first passive antenna gain of the first antennas, and a second passive antenna gain of the second antennas.

    摘要: Systems and methods of controlling signal polarization for an antenna system are provided herein. The antenna system includes an ultra wide band or greater array of dual linear polarization elements. The antenna system also includes polarization synthesis networks. Each of the polarization synthesis networks is coupled to the first differential interface of the first element of a respective dual linear polarization element of the dual linear polarization elements and the second differential interface of the second element of the respective the dual linear polarization element of the dual orthogonal linear polarization elements. Each of the polarization synthesis networks has a flat response for phase shift and amplitude over the ultra wide bandwidth.
