PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18016063 titled 'PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA

The abstract describes a phased array antenna with a phase shifter unit, a waveguide unit, and a connection unit. The phase shifter unit has two substrate surfaces and at least one phase shifter with two feeding regions. The waveguide unit on one side of the substrate surfaces has a waveguide cavity corresponding to the feeding regions of each phase shifter. The connection unit, corresponding to each waveguide unit, includes an insulation body fixedly connected with the substrate surface and the waveguide unit. The insulation body has a hollow-out portion through which the waveguide unit contacts the substrate surface, with a port of the waveguide cavity located on the contact surface of the waveguide unit in the hollow-out portion.
