ARRAY ANTENNA STRUCTURE WITH SIMPLIFIED PHASE CONTROL AND ANTENNA PRODUCT USING THE SAME

原文（中国語）

An array antenna structure with simplified phase control and antenna product(s) thereof involve at least one metal waveguide element, at least one multilayer dielectric substrate with antenna units and low-resolution phase control units and joinable to the metal waveguide element, and at least one radio-frequency (RF) front-end module electrically connected to the metal waveguide element and the multilayer dielectric substrate to enable the antenna units to radiate and/or receive RF signals. Function amplification units of the RF front-end module are electrically connected to corresponding low-resolution phase control units and an unequal-length transmission line structure. The array antenna structure uses the low-resolution phase control units to reduce cost and circuit complexity, and produces the aperiodicity of initial phase excitation of the antenna units through the unequal-length transmission line structure.
