Abstract: In an embodiment, an antenna subsystem includes a sparse receive antenna and an electronically steerable transmit antenna. The sparse receive antenna includes an array of electronically steerable receive elements each configured to receive a respective signal having a wavelength and each spaced apart from each adjacent one of the receive elements by a respective first distance that is more than one half of the wavelength, has an aperture, and is configured to generate a receive beam pattern. And the electronically steerable transmit antenna includes an array of transmit elements each configured to radiate a respective signal having the wavelength and each spaced apart from each adjacent one of the transmit elements by a respective second distance that is less than one half of the wavelength, has an aperture that is significantly smaller than the aperture of the sparse receive antenna, and is configured to filter, spatially, the receive beam pattern.

Abstract: An embodiment an antenna unit of an antenna array includes a signal coupler, a phase-shifting modulator, and an antenna element. The signal coupler has a first input-output port, a second input-output port, and a coupled port. The phase-shifting modulator is coupled to the coupled port of the signal coupler, and the antenna element is coupled to the phase-shifting modulator via a connection remote from the signal coupler, or via an isolated port of the signal coupler. The phase-shifting modulator is configured for both relatively low signal loss and relatively low power consumption such that the antenna array can have significantly lower C-SWAP metrics than a conventional phased array while retaining the higher performance metrics of a conventional phased array.

Abstract: In an embodiment, an antenna unit includes a coupler, a phase-shifting modulator, and an antenna element. The coupler has first and second input-output ports, a coupled port, and an isolated port. The phase-shifting modulator includes a transmission medium coupled to the coupled port, a reflector, control nodes, and active devices each having a respective first device port coupled to a respective location of the transmission medium, a respective second device port coupled to the reflector, and a respective control port coupled to a respective one of the control nodes. And the antenna element is coupled to the phase-shifting modulator via the isolated port.
