Abstract :
This paper presents architectures for active phased arrays for multiple scanning, hopping, and reconfigurable shaped beams for satellite applications. A comparison of the different architectures is discussed. An experimental model which incorporates active monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) components for beam control is described. The technology for this model is directly applicable to the various architectures presented.
