摘要: Apparatus and method for self-contained calibration failure detection in a phased array antenna having beamforming network. The network includes plurality of ports beam or space fed system. A elements transmit/receive modules are included. Each one the is coupled between corresponding ports. system provided having: an RF input port; detector to element port. switch section included sequentially coupling each through forming/space-fed thereto selectively either: (a) port during receive mode; or, (b) transmit mode. predetermined elements, i.e., element, test mode path isolated from network; In embodiment, disposed peripheral region elements. another arranged clusters, clusters element.
