Abstract

To improve azimuth resolution and radar systems, either a narrow beam in azimuth is used, or a MIMO system is used. Each method has advantages and limitations. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a 4-channel beam steering circuit with 6-bit digital phase shifters covering the frequency band 3-6 GHz. The proposed design has the advantage of parallel control through an FPGA for each phase shifter, which enables a high steering speed of up to 10 ns. Moreover, the proposed design is cascadable to achieve higher steering accuracy. The system has a phase accuracy of 5.625°. The proposed design is a 4-layer PCB that has passed through power, signal integrity, and RF simulations to verify its performance.
