Beamforming & Beamsteering Networks

Beamforming PicWhat Are They?

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
