    摘要: A microelectromechanical system (MEMS) steerable electronically scanned lens array (ESA) antenna and method of frequency scanning are disclosed. The MEMS ESA antenna includes a MEMS E-plane steerable lens array and a MEMS H-plane steerable linear array. The MEMS E-plane steerable lens array includes first and second arrays of wide band radiating elements, and an array of MEMS E-plane phase shifter modules disposed between the first and second arrays of radiating elements. The MEMS H-plane steerable linear array includes a continuous transverse stub (CTS) feed array and an array of MEMS H-plane phase shifter modules at an input of the CTS feed array. The MEMS H-plane steerable linear array is disposed adjacent the first array of radiating elements of the MEMS E-plane steerable lens array for providing a planar wave front in the near field. The H-plane phase shifter modules shift RF signals input into the CTS feed array based on the phase settings of the H-plane phase shifter modules, and the E-plane phase shifter modules steer a beam radiated from the CTS feed array in an E-plane based on the phase settings of the E-plane phase shifter modules.

    摘要: A coaxial-to-microstrip vertical transition includes a dielectric substrate having formed on a first surface thereof a primary microstrip conductor trace, and on a second surface a secondary microstrip conductor trace. A first conductive via extends through the dielectric substrate and electrically connects the primary conductor trace to the secondary conductor trace. A second conductive via is spaced from the first conductive via and extends through the dielectric substrate to electrically connect the secondary conductor trace to the coaxial center conductor. A bottom microstrip ground plane layer is defined on the second substrate surface. A conductive base plate structure has a cavity formed therein, the substrate positioned such that the base plate structure is in contact with the bottom ground plane layer, and the secondary conductor trace is positioned over the cavity. The substrate is positioned between a cover structure and the base plate structure, the cover structure disposed in spaced relation with respect to the first surface of the substrate. A coaxial transmission line structure includes an outer shield and a coaxial center conductor structure disposed within the outer conductor and transverse to the substrate, the center conductor passed through an opening in the cover structure to contact the second via. A conductive plate structure is positioned between the plane of the cover structure and the substrate, providing shielding surrounding the center conductor between the cover and the substrate.

The interconnect structure employs dielectric-filled slabline transmission line, which includes a center conductor wire conductor bent to form the offset interconnection between two ports misaligned in two dimensions. The structure includes a dielectric housing that is formed by injection molding about the center slabline wire conductor. The offset interconnect structure can be integrated with an in-line coaxial interconnect structure.
