A 5-by-5 element coupled oscillator-based phased array

Design, fabrication, and test of a 25-element planar coupled oscillator based phased array is described. The array operates at S-band and is shown to produce an agile beam which is steerable via adjustment of the perimeter oscillator tuning biases only. A phase diagnostic system is described which displays the aperture phase distribution during the far field measurements of the radiated beam. Meas...
