Abstract
A phased array has a laminar substrate, a plurality of elements on the laminar substrate forming a patch phased array, and first and second sets of integrated circuits on the laminar substrate. The first set of integrated circuits, each of which are single polarity integrated circuits, connects with a first set of the plurality of elements, and are configured to operate using first signals having a first polarity. In a similar manner, each one of the second set of integrated circuits also is a single polarity integrated circuit and connects with a second set of the plurality of elements. Also, each of the second set of integrated circuits is configured to operate using second signals having a second polarity. The first polarity is substantially orthogonal to the second polarity (i.e., to not interfere with each other).
