Methods and apparatus for volumetric coverage with image beam super-elements |
摘要 |
Methods and apparatus for a super-element assembly for a phased array radar aperture, the super-element assembly having a first port and a second port to receive a first signal at the first port to generate a main beam, and receive a second signal at the second port to generate an image beam for generating scan volume coverage using the main and image beams. |

1. A method, comprising:
employing a super-element assembly for a phased array radar aperture, the super-element assembly having a first port and a second port and a longitudinal axis, wherein the first and second ports are located at opposing ends of the super-element assembly; employing a first signal at the first port to generate a main beam at a first angle plus theta (+θ); and employing a second signal at the second port to generate an image beam at a second angle minus theta (−θ), wherein the first and second angles are oriented with respect to a surface normal of the super-element assembly longitudinal axis. |
