项目摘要

The term beam steering means the focussing of a beam of light in order to improve the amount of light reaching a specific target, rather like a searchlight. But to increase the coverage the bean is rapidly modulated - the searchlight is very rapidly swept back and forth. The same principle applies to radio waves and microwaves. This proposal aims to make an array of antennas that can be electronically steered in order to improve this focussing. To achieve this we need phase shifters which are devices that can alter the output signal phase on the application of a voltage. In comparison with current communication systems, in which transmitter/receiver antennas operate without beam steering, this will improve their performance hugely. Transmitter power is reduced, saving energy and reducing electromagnetic radiation, and inter-channel interference is reduced due to the space resolution of radiation directions.The main barrier preventing the development of phased-array antennas is the high cost of the antenna control systems containing banks of phase-shifters. The cost of ferrite or semiconductor based phase-shifters in these banks depends on frequency band and costs from $50 (L-band) up to $250 (Ka-band) and more for one unit. Taking into account the need to use between 20-1000 similar devices for each antenna to provide the required antenna parameters it becomes clear that 60 - 90% of the price of steerable beam antennas is connected with their control system. Phase-shifters and other control devices based on ferroelectric films can reduce the cost of a single element down to a few dollars due to their technological simplicity. However, ferroelectric devices exhibit residual polarization (a hysteresis phenomenon that is observed after decreasing the bias voltage down to zero) and slow relaxation at pulsed control voltage. This disadvantage is the main barrier for their implementation, as it causes a decrease of tunability and an ambiguous time response to the pulsed control voltage. The aim of this proposal is to develop new tuneable [ferroelectric] devices based on a new phenomenon. We and our collaborators have made an interesting observation: a reduction in the hysteresis of ferroelectric materials upon the application of ultra violet light. This discovery requires further experimentation. The effect could be used in an entirely new generation of electronic devices.
光束操纵这个术语指的是一束光的聚焦,以提高到达特定目标的光量,就像探照灯一样。但是为了增加覆盖范围,豆子被快速调制——探照灯被非常快速地来回扫过。同样的原理也适用于无线电波和微波。这项提议旨在制造一组可以电子控制的天线,以改善这种聚焦。为了实现这一点,我们需要移相器,这是一种可以在施加电压时改变输出信号相位的设备。与目前的通信系统相比,发射/接收天线在没有波束控制的情况下工作,这将极大地提高它们的性能。降低发射机功率,节约能源,减少电磁辐射,由于辐射方向的空间分辨率,减少信道间干扰。阻碍相控阵天线发展的主要障碍是包含移相器组的天线控制系统的高成本。铁氧体移相器或半导体移相器的成本取决于频段,成本从50美元(l波段)到250美元(ka波段)不等。考虑到每个天线需要使用20-1000个类似的设备来提供所需的天线参数,很明显,60 - 90%的可操纵波束天线的价格与它们的控制系统相连。移相器和其他基于铁电薄膜的控制装置由于技术简单,可以将单个元件的成本降低到几美元。然而,铁电器件在脉冲控制电压下表现出残余极化(将偏置电压降至零后观察到的滞后现象)和缓慢弛豫。这个缺点是它们实现的主要障碍,因为它会导致可调性降低和对脉冲控制电压的模糊时间响应。本提案的目的是基于一种新现象开发新的可调谐[铁电]器件。我们和我们的合作者做了一个有趣的观察:在紫外光的应用下,铁电材料的迟滞减少了。这一发现需要进一步的实验。这种效应可以用于全新一代的电子设备。
