phase antenna array system, and method for controlling and monitoring a phase antenna array system

摘要

an in-phase antenna array system that may include a plurality of radiofrequency (rf) mosaic sub-arrays arranged in a certain pattern to define an rf aperture. each rf mosaic sub array may include a multiplicity of rf elements and each rf element may be separately controlled to direct or track a beam of rf generated or received by the rf element. The phased antenna array system may also include an antenna controller configured to process data to direct or track one or more RF beams by the multiplicity of RF elements. the antenna controller may additionally include a plurality of open state machines. An open state machine may be associated with each RF mosaic sub array to control the operation of the associated RF mosaic sub array. the phased antenna array system may additionally include a plurality of rf mosaic buses. an rf mosaic bus operably couples each open state machine to the rf mosaic submatrix.
