Beamforming & Beamsteering Networks
ARS Products designs and manufactures specialized phase and amplitude control sub-systems for RF signal manipulation. Our products can be used for individual feed manipulation (phase shifters or amplitude modulators), or at the beam culminating point (beamformer).
Dynamic Beamforming: What Is It?
A melding of Butler Matrix and Phased Array techniques.
Beamforming Applications:
- Direction finding with spatial signal suppression
- Allows the user to change the pattern in real time
- Can also be used for transmission
Key Beamformer Differentiators:
Frequency Coverage- From fractional to multiple octave bandwidths
Power Handling- From sensitive receive levels, to kilowatt transmit levels.
Architecture- Able to re-implement designs, changing between quadrature and sum/difference implementations.
Mediums- Stripline, microstrip, and high permeability materials such as ferrite and powdered iron
