How can you simulate an antenna array with a resistor in power splitter
I am simulating a 2 by 2 patch antenna array with Wilkson power splitter. This power splitter require 100 ohm resistor. I use 0603 for this SMD resistor. Here is my EM simulation s-paramter plot in ...

RX only radar phased array with multiple targets
I saw some FMCW automotive radar modules with phased array antenna only on the RX portion. I'm wondering how such antenna differentiates multiple targets. Let's say there are 2 targets illuminated by ...

Phasing of circular-polarized antennas array
If we take two orthogonal dipoles and feed them with 90° shift, we get a cirular polarized antenna. But if we want to make a phased array of such antennas, how do we control their phases for beam ...

Patch Antenna lower Gain with bigger ground
I am designing a circular patch antenna. The design seems good, achieving <-25 dB S11 and 9dB gain. I am trying to reach even higher gain. For different reasons I need to extend the ground from ...

Do solid state phased arrays need isolated power supplies?
Non-isolated DC/DC supplies could have higher power density but it seems that high power solid state phased arrays utilize mostly isolated DC/DC converters to power each of their amplifiers. Why are ...

Gain of a signal passed through a N element phased array?
Assuming a isotropic phased array of N elements, the gain would be 10*log10(N) dB which is provided in theory. However, when same signal is passed through all the N elements, the gain is 20 * log10(N) ...
