    Application of coherently radiating periodic structures for feeding subarrays in limited-scan arrays
    (IEEE, 2023) Juárez, Elizvan; Panduro, Marco A.; Covarrubias, David H.; Reyna, Alberto; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza
    This paper presents a new design technique to improve the reduction of phase shifters using sub-arrays and CORPS (coherently radiating periodic structures) technology. The CORPS network generates the values of cophasal excitation with reduced input ports. These values feed an optimal sub-arrays structure. Furthermore, fixed and variable amplifiers allow a low SLL (side lobe level) by using a raised cosine amplitude distribution along sub-arrays inputs. The theoretical model of CORPS-Subarrays, numerical and experimental results of several design cases are presented. The proposed design achieves a ±14° scanning range with a higher reduction of phase shifters than other techniques presented previously in the state of art. This paper illustrates, as a contribution, the complete antenna system based on the fabrication of a prototype and experimental results to analyze the reduction capacity of phase shifters and scanning possibilities of the proposed methodology in antenna arrays. The experimental results of the BFN (beam-forming networks) prototype at 6 GHz for 11 antenna elements and 3 phase shifters are provided. The proposed design achieves a reduction of 72% of phased shifters with ±14° beam scanning and −15 dB of SLL.

    A design proposal using coherently radiating periodic structures (CORPSs) for 2-D phased arrays of limited scanning
    (MDPI, 2024-09-18) Calvillo, Gilberto; Panduro, Marco A.; Juárez, Elizvan; Reyna, Alberto; Río Bocio, Carlos del; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoa eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritza
    New configurations of 2-D phased arrays are proposed in this paper for reducing the number of phase shifters. This design methodology is based on the use of a novel coherently radiating periodic structures (CORPSs) block for 2-D phased arrays. Two new antenna systems for 2-D phased arrays are studied and analyzed utilizing the CORPSs blocks of four inputs and nine outputs. These CORPSs feeding blocks are applied in a smart way to feed the planar antenna arrays by generating the required phase plane and reducing the number of control ports. Interesting results are provided based on the experimental measurements and full-wave simulations. These results illustrate a great reduction of the active devices (phase shifters), providing a good design compromise in terms of the scanning range and side lobe level performance. Furthermore, the provided results illustrate a maximum reduction capability in the number of phase shifters of 81%, considering a scanning range of ±30° in azimuth and ±30° in elevation. A raised cosine distribution is applied to reach side lobe levels of −19 dB for ±18° and −17 dB for ±30° in elevation. These benefits could be of interest to designers of phased antenna systems.
