An UWB impulse radio programmable transmitter array is presented, usable for electromagnetic beamforming. The linear antenna array may be programmed for focal beamforming using seven impulse radio transmitters. Two different spatial configurations are evaluated for use as beam scanning electronics of an electromagnetic camera. A novel high-precision, programmable delay element is explored for accurate beam control. Measured results shows that the scan line of the beamformer can be steered with sufficient resolution facilitating an electromagnetic CMOS camera.
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.
