  • Abstract
    A system has been constructed which adaptively corrects for an applied phase error along the length of a flexible linear array. The system utilises resistance strain gauges and electrically controlled ferrite phase shifters. Results at 9.4 GHz are presented, in the form of radiation patterns, to provide an illustration of the system performance.
