Abstract:
A phased array antenna device for receiving a signal from a satellite includes subarrays including antenna elements and phase shifters that shift phases of signals received by the antenna elements with set phase shift values, a demodulator that demodulates the signals from the satellite with the phases shifted by the phase shifters and outputs the demodulated signals, and a controller that sets the phase shift values of the phase shifters and controls a beam direction. The controller calculates, for each of the subarrays, a direction-correction phase shift value that maximizes a power value of the signal from the satellite by being added to the phase shift values of the phase shifters included in the subarray and adds the direction-correction phase shift value to the phase shift values of the phase shifters included in the subarray.
