Abstract
A simple technique for producing a monolithic beam-scanning system is presented. This technique applies the principles of mode locking to arrays of coupled antenna/oscillator structures. No phase shifters are required to achieve this beam scanning. In addition, it can be shown that this beam scanning property applies to both the transmit and the receive functions. Using these principles, it may be possible to create very compact and efficient solid-state millimeter-wave radar systems.<>
