Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
A microstrip phase scan antenna array is provided having a columnar array of microstrip radiating patches mounted on a dielectric substrate. Each column of the array is fed by a separate variable, reciprocal ferrite rod phase shifter which is mounted on the substrate and is coupled to the column which it controls and to a source of millimetre wave energy by microstrip to dielectric waveguide transitions. Each of the phase shifters is controlled by a helical biasing coil surrounding the ferrite rod. All of the biasing coils are serially interconnected by a single scanning control drive wire and the numbers of turns of the coils are related to each other by an arithmetic progression in which …
