Abstract :
A self-phasing receive array based on the phase-detection and phase-shifting architecture is demonstrated in the S-band. The array is capable of selectively steering toward a specific observation frequency in an RF environment composed of multiple signals of varying frequencies. RF target tracking is reported over a plusmn60deg range at 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 GHz.
