Abstract

This paper reports on the design and development of a dividing/phasing network for a compact switched-beam array antenna for land-vehicle mobile satellite communications. The device is formed by a switched radial divider/combiner and 1-bit phase shifters and generates a sufficient number of beams for the proper satellite tracking.
