Abstract

In this paper, we describe the fabrication of the array of voltage controlled oscillators, the experimental determination of the behavior of this array, and comparison of the experimentally observed behavior with theoretical predictions. We further discuss the design of the microstrip patch radiating aperture and describe the experimental measurement of the antenna patterns under various scan conditions
