As the size is several wavelengths, a rapid technique such as Geometrical Optics (GO) should be used for analysis, which allows an efficient design technique when associated with Genetic Algorithm (GA). The design of constrained metal plate lenses is presented and results show that both GA and GO techniques provide an efficient tool for design of electrically large focusing elements.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"14 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123798832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two key reasons for developing this technology is that it enables the radio telescope to have several simultaneous beams on the sky, increasing the speed of the instrument, and because it allows the properties of the feed to be optimised. However, to date only two experimental demonstrations of phased-array feeds on radio telescopes have been performed. We are in the planning stages of an array that will thoroughly demonstrate the capabilities of this technology. This engineering demonstrator will consist of an array of Vivaldi antennas feeding low-noise amplifiers. After amplification the signal will be down-converted and digitized. This data will be stored for off-line beamforming on desktop computers. From these data sets we will be able to demonstrate not only rudimentary beamforming, but also more sophisticated operations such as optimisation of the feed pattern and interference cancellation. Current plans and progress of this project will be reviewed.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131253968","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 20–24 GHz and 21.6– 22.1 GHz horns display better G/Tsystem performance as demonstrated by Fig. 7. As the three horns are highly optimised, we also checked that the return loss (RL) did not have any spikes in the band of interest. We have used CST MicroWave Studio to calculate a RL-sweep for each of the horns. As can be seen in Fig. 10, the RL is better than 20 dB across each band for the three horns and do not show any spikes.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133017003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna is a 3×3 planar array of rectangular patches, in the 5.15GHz ∼ 5.35GHz band. The antennas are probe-fed so that they can be connected to separate phase shifters or switches. Suggestions have been made to make use of a minimum number of phase shifters. Simulations include all possible mutual coupling effects. A switched-beam algorithm is applied to single user, double and triple user environment. A minimum 15 dB increase in the received signal gain and 5 dB increase in SIR are achieved. In a reduced mode of the smart array using only 4 phase shifters, at least 3 dB increase is observed in SIR.","PeriodicalId":360668,"journal":{"name":"11th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics [ANTEM 2005]","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115185452","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
