And its abstract:
Abstract: A system consisting of millimeter wavelength ferroelectric substrate components
has been simulated in order to be used to excite a phased array antenna at 26 GHz. This
system is used as a beamformer for a point-to-multipoint radio link at the frequency range of
25.5 - 26.5 GHz. The system analysis, simulations and optimizations aim to examine the
tolerances of each microwave component and to extract their optimum characteristics in order
to achieve the desired excitation currents for the phased array antenna. The present work
shows the analysis and simulation steps, in order to prove that such systems are able to
produce the desired radiation pattern of the whole array (5 refs.)
