摘要
A phased array antenna containing four linear microstrip patch elements has been fabricated and tested. The elements were fed through single-crystal yttrium-iron-garnet (YIG) phase shifters. By varying the bias magnetic field, the input phases to the antenna elements can thus been tuned, resulting in steering of the radiation beam in one dimension. Measurements compared reasonably well with calculations.
