ANTENNA

摘要

This invention relates to a phased array antenna where the transmit/receive modules are replaced by a series of separately packaged components. The components comprise, for example, a vector control component, a high power amplifier component, a low noise amplifier component, a transmit/receive duplexing component and ancillary supporting components. The advantage of this arrangement is that cheaper antenna arrays can ba constructed without limiting the capability and/or performance of a system incorporating such an array when compared to a conventional solution.
