Abstract :
Dynamic Polarization Control (DPC) ensures polarization matching to the receiving antenna regardless of its polarization or orientation in space. A fully integrated 105.5 GHz 2×1 DPC multi-port driven radiator array with beam steering radiates linear polarization across the full polarization angle range of 0° to 180° maintaining axial ratios above 10 dB, and controls the axial ratio from 2.4 dB (near circular) to 13 dB (linear) in various directions of radiation and a maximum EIRP of 7.8 dBm.
