Abstract

This study investigates a phased array ground station capable of tracking multiple sources, multi-beamforming, electronic steering, easy scaling, and low cost. The project will develop a 20-pair dual-polarized Yagi-UHF/VHF phased array, comparing the parameters of random and uniform layouts. This study will be divided into two domains: frequency, and radiative domain. The frequency domain will explore the reception and transmission spectra analysis under several scenarios for our antennas. The radiative domain will explore the following: general side lobe analysis across both elevation and azimuth, antenna element sweep analysis, electronic beam steering analysis, electro-mechanical beam steering analysis, array density analysis, and reception/transmission spectra analysis.
