PHASED ARRAY BEAM TRACKING USING BEAM GAIN CODING

摘要

A system for phased array signal beam tracking includes a phased array transmitter configurable for transmitting a signal beam at a selected transmit beam angle from a plurality of different transmit beam angles. The system also includes a beam gain angle coding assembly configured for modulation of a gain of the signal beam to produce a resulting gain profile of the signal beam. The resulting gain profile includes offset angle coding that indicates an offset incident angle of the signal beam at a receiving antenna.
