A 4 x 4 Active Antenna Array with Adjustable Beam Steering

Sebastian Verho et al.

Summary: This paper presents an adjustable 4x4 antenna array with electrical beam steering and polarization control. By calibrating and adjusting the beam steering angle, the accuracy of pointing can be improved to avoid transmission failure. The phase error between components is reduced by measuring the phase shift profile of the 4x4 array at different voltage bias points to achieve robust beam steering. The desired steering angle is achieved with an accuracy of 2 degrees by over or under steering in the beamforming calculations. The main beam is incrementally steered from 0 degrees to 45 degrees with a gain ranging from 4.7 dB to 2.8 dB. Polarization control in the horizontal and vertical directions for a linearly polarized wave is also demonstrated.

Hybrid Precoding Applied to Multi-Beam Transmitting Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (T-RIS)

David Demmer et al.

Summary: In this work, hybrid precoding techniques for multi-user T-RIS systems are studied. A multi-beam T-RIS propagation model with strong phase quantization constraints and limited beam codebooks is proposed and validated by characterizing a Ka-band T-RIS. The quad-beam T-RIS structure is optimized using two metrics and the system performance is evaluated in a multi-user scenario. The results show that considering analog precoding is sufficient to optimize the T-RIS, but a fully hybrid precoding scheme is required to deal with inter-user interference. A codebook-aware optimization is proposed to improve the aperture efficiency of the T-RIS system.

Design of Multi-Functional Transmitarray with Active Linear Polarization Conversion and Beam Steering Capabilities

In-Gon Lee et al.

Summary: This study proposes a multi-functional reconfigurable transmitarray that can switch between polarizations and adjust beam directions. It uses a PIN diode with ON/OFF switching ability. The simulation shows that this architecture can achieve 2D beam scanning within +/- 45 degrees in both elevation and azimuth angles while maintaining or converting linear polarization. The performance is verified through measurements, with maximum gain of 14.5 dBi, sidelobe level below 14.5 dBc, polarization converting loss below 1.28 dB, and polarization isolation level above 14.7 dB. It provides a simplified design technique for radar systems requiring small size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) characteristics.
