International Classification:
H01H 1964
US Classification:
307113, 307147, 385 17, 370357, 710317
Abstract:
A switch matrix is provided comprising a plurality of input modules X and a plurality of output modules P. Each input module has a plurality of first input interconnections a plurality of first interconnected switches and a plurality of first output interconnections Each output module has a plurality of second input interconnections a plurality of second interconnected switches and a plurality of second output interconnections The plurality of input modules X is electrically coupled to the plurality of output modules P, forming a plurality of signal paths having a plurality of interconnected switches K per signal path A method is also provided minimizing the total number of interconnected switches Z within the switch matrix for a particular application. The method comprises determining switch matrix design requirements, calculating the values of X and P, and performing an integer partitioning process.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for calibrating an array antenna are described. The array antenna has a plurality of antenna elements each having a signal with a phase and an amplitude forming an array antenna signal. For calibration, the phase of each element signal is sequentially switched one at a time through four orthogonal phase states. At each orthogonal phase state, the power of the array antenna signal is measured. A phase and an amplitude error for each of the element signals is determined based on the power of the array antenna signal at each of the four orthogonal phase states. The phase and amplitude of each of the element signals is then adjusted by the corresponding phase and amplitude errors.
