A conformal retrodirective array for radar applications using a heterodyne phased scattering element

A 6 GHz retrodirective antenna array has been developed for use in radar and backscatter-mode communication systems. The array is based on a novel microstrip mixer-antenna element that provides the conjugate phase shift necessary for retro-reflection of incident signals, and which responds to all po...

Description
Summary:A 6 GHz retrodirective antenna array has been developed for use in radar and backscatter-mode communication systems. The array is based on a novel microstrip mixer-antenna element that provides the conjugate phase shift necessary for retro-reflection of incident signals, and which responds to all polarizations.< >
