Abstract
Amplitude phase distortion adding sections are provided for the power amplifiers on the antenna arrays greater in amplitude weighting while amplitude distortion adding sections are provided for the power amplifiers on the antenna arrays smaller in amplitude weighting. Due to this, because a required amount of distortion compensation is made based on each antenna array, there is no bad effect upon the adjacent other antenna array, suppressing the deterioration in beam control accuracy. This, also, reduces the size of the apparatus and improves the power efficiency on the array antenna apparatus overall.
