Sequential phase feeding algorithm with minimal beam pointing error for centrosymmetric planar array antenna

Phased array antennas using digital phase shifters for beam steering are characterized by beam pointing error. This study proposes a sequential phase feeding algorithm (SPFA) with minimal beam pointing error for a centrosymmetric planar array antenna. The theoretical expression of a beam pointing error caused by phase quantification error is derived. On the basis of the derivation results, the phase shift of each element is sequentially quantified through truncating or carrying to achieve a smaller beam pointing error. The proposed algorithm improves the beam pointing accuracy of the centrosymmetric planar array antenna, and the computational load is acceptable. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of SPFA.
