摘要
Multi-beam antenna feed networks employ more aperture ports (e. g., ports I, II, III, IV and V) than beam ports (e.g., ports A, B, C and D) to achieve low sidelobe lossless operation, particularly for cellular communications. With five aperture ports, signal value outputs at the aperture ports represent orthogonal outputs having phase gradients effective to provide a four beam radiation pattern. The feed arrangement includes directional couplers (e.g., C11, C21) and phase shifters (e.g., P22, P23) intercoupled between the beam ports and aperture ports to provide the desired orthogonal aperture excitation. An example of specific directional coupler and phase shifter circuit values for a matrix network for a four beam port to five aperture port feed network configuration is provided.
