Abstract:

A broadband true-time-delay-based multi-beam array architecture is presented in this paper that is applicable to 1-D and 2-D linear antenna arrays. A 1-D millimeter-wave multi-beam array receiver and a 2-D ultra-wide band multi-beam array receiver have been implemented in 0.13- μm SiGe and a 0.13- μm CMOS technology, respectively. The 1-D millimeter-wave multi-beam array receiver with six antennas and seven beams covers the entire 30-40-GHz instantaneous bandwidth, and achieves 18° spatial resolution and ±54° spatial coverage with 4-mm antenna spacing. The 2-D ultra-wideband multi-beam array receiver with 2 × 2 antennas and 7 × 7 beams covers the 3-15-GHz instantaneous bandwidth, and achieves 10° spatial resolution and ±30° spatial coverage in each dimension with 3-cm antenna spacing.

I. Introduction

Spatial selectivity of a radiating aperture is inversely proportional to its size. A coordinated array of radiating elements offers the same spatial selectivity of a single aperture that occupies the same total area. Moreover, coordinated radiating arrays allow creating and dynamically adjusting various radiation patterns without modifications to the shapes and locations of the radiating elements.
