Abstract

Research is proposed to investigate the feasibility of coupled voltage-controlled-oscillator arrays to develop high-gain steerable-beam phased-array antennas without phase shifters. If successful, coupled VCO array technology will provide beam steering of at least 60° off broadside from a planar, low cost, thin, and lightweight package. Concept feasibility and system performance will be assessed by modeling and simulation in Phase I.
