Methods and apparatus for volumetric coverage with image beam super-elements
TL;DR: In this paper, a super-element assembly for a phased array radar aperture is described, with a first port and a second port having a first signal at the first port to generate a main beam, and receive a second signal from the second port for generating an image beam.
Patent
Phased array antenna calibration system and method using array clusters
TL;DR: In this paper, an approach for self-contained calibration and failure detection in a phased array antenna having a beamforming network is presented. But it does not specify a switch section for sequentially coupling each one of the antenna elements.

Jack J. Schuss,Jeffrey C. Upton,B. Myers,Thomas V. Sikina,A. Rohwer,P. Makridakas,R. Francois,L. Wardle,R. Smith +8 more
TL;DR: The design of a novel phase array panel that provides the L-band satellite to ground links for the IRIDIUM global communications system is presented and the strategy for minimizing DC power consumption over a large range of multicarrier RF output power is described.
Patent
Microelectromechanical phased array antenna
Thomas V. Sikina,Yueh-Chi Chang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an array antenna includes a radiator layer having first and second opposing surfaces and a plurality of radiators disposed on a first surface of the radiator layer, each one of the plurality of MEMS phase shifters electromagnetically coupled to at least one radiators.
Patent
Solid interface module
TL;DR: In this article, a microwave solid interface module has been proposed, which includes a substrate supporting microwave, logic, and DC bias circuits in one embodiment and the substrate can be formed from BeO.
