Phased array antennas are commonly used in earth stations because of their fast and accurate beam steering characteristics. The sidelobe of earth station antennas is strictly regulated internationally to avoid affecting the adjacent satellites. To suppress the side lobe of the phased array antenna, the accurate amplitude and phase of the signal must be fed to each radiating element. This paper proposed a method for calculating the amplitude and phase of a signal. The proposed method can rapidly and accurately calculate the amplitude and phase of each radiating element signal by setting an arbitrary phase in the radiation pattern reference. In addition, the proposed method was verified through a beamforming problem that satisfies the domestic radiation pattern reference.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
