    • Apparatus and method for self-contained calibration and failure detection in a phased array antenna having a beamforming network. The beamforming network includes a plurality of array ports and a plurality of beam ports or a space fed system. A plurality of antenna elements and a plurality of transmit/receive modules are included. Each one of the modules is coupled between a corresponding one of the antenna elements and a corresponding one of the array ports. A calibration system is provided having: an RF input port; an RF detector port; an RF detector coupled to the RF detector port; and an antenna element port. A switch section is included for sequentially coupling each one of the antenna elements through the beam forming/space-fed network and the one of the transmit/receive modules coupled thereto selectively to either: (a) the detector port during a receive calibration mode; or, (b) to the RF input port during a transmit calibration mode. The switch section includes a switch for selectively coupling a predetermined one of the antenna elements, i.e., a calibration antenna element, selectively to either: (a) the RF test input of the calibration system during the receive calibration mode through a path isolated from the beamforming network; or, (b) to the detector port during the transmit calibration mode through a path isolated from the beamforming network. In one embodiment, the calibration antenna element is disposed in a peripheral region of the array of antenna elements. In another embodiment, the array of antenna elements is arranged in clusters, each one of the clusters having a calibration antenna element.
    • 具有波束形成网络的相控阵天线中的独立校准和故障检测的装置和方法。 波束形成网络包括多个阵列端口和多个波束端口或空间馈送系统。 包括多个天线元件和多个发射/接收模块。 每个模块耦合在相应的一个天线元件和对应的一个阵列端口之间。 提供了一种校准系统,其具有:RF输入端口; RF检测器端口; 耦合到RF检测器端口的RF检测器; 和天线元件端口。 包括开关部分,用于通过波束形成/空间馈送网络顺序地耦合每一个天线元件,并将发射/接收模块中的一个选择性地耦合到:(a)在接收校准模式期间的检测器端口; 或者,(b)在发射校准模式期间到RF输入端口。 开关部分包括用于选择性地将预定的一个天线元件(即,校准天线元件)选择性地耦合到一个开关,该校准天线元件选择性地耦合到:(a)接收校准模式期间校准系统的RF测试输入通过与 波束成形网络; 或者(b)通过与波束形成网络隔离的路径在发射校准模式期间到检测器端口。 在一个实施例中,校准天线元件设置在天线元件阵列的外围区域中。 在另一个实施例中,天线元件阵列被布置成簇,每个簇具有校准天线元件。
