摘要

Beam-scanning phased array antennas are a cornerstone of many point-to-point or point-to-multipoint microwave transmitters/receivers. In most phased arrays, phase shifters are employed to achieve beam-scanning. However, phase-shifters induce beam-squinting, which deteriorates the phased array's performance in terms of its directivity and gain, leading to an increase in SNR [1]. In communication systems, this increases the bit-error-rate, while it decreases the accuracy in target detection/tracking radars and the resolution in synthetic aperture radars. Instead of phase shifters, true-time delayers (TTDs) [2] may be used for beam-scanning while also suppressing beam-squinting [1]. TTDs are conventionally implemented as digital switched-lines, non-linear transmission lines, optical fibers, or ferromagnetic devices. Digital switched-lines suffer from excessive size and cost, in addition to utilizing power-consuming latency-prone active switches. More importantly, their discrete phase shift generally leads to quantization errors. Non-linear transmission lines utilize power-consuming varactors and exhibit a limited total phase shift due to mismatch losses. Optical fibers generate high delay at multi-bands, however they are heavy, bulky, non-planar, and expensive for microwave applications. Finally, ferromagnetic-based TTDs require an external magnet, leading to bulky and non-planar devices. In this work, we propose a new and alternative method to implement a time delayer (TD) using a dispersive delay line, namely the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) [3] transmission line which, when implemented in a scanning phased array, suppresses beam squinting similarly to a TTD.
