Abstract :
A topology based on mutually coupled harmonic self-oscillating mixers for beam steering purposes in a receiver configuration is presented. The use of harmonic self-oscillating mixers increases the maximum inter-element phase-shift allowing greater steering angles. A 3 times 1 array has been manufactured showing good agreement between experimental and simulated results.
