Microwave Loaded Line Phase Shifter Design for Beam-steering Applications in Adaptive Array Antenna System
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this scholarly work, we present innovative design for Loaded Line Phase Shifter (LLPS) which is tailored for the dynamic requirements of beam-steering adaptive antenna arrays. This phase shifter plays a pivotal role by installing a precise 90o phase shift into the elements of the adaptive array, enabling beam switching in diverse directions. In the absence of the Loaded Line Phase Shifter, the S-Parameter values, specifically S11 and S21, are recorded at 158.88o and -23.72o, respectively. Upon integrating the LLPS into the transmission line, a remarkable transformation occurs with S11 and S21 values transitioning to -143.28o and -53.03o, correspondingly. These results hold great promise for the practical applications of adaptive antenna arrays.
