  • Patent number: 8259686
    Abstract: There is provided one exemplary array antenna system having a plurality of arrayed element antennas and transmit/receive modules that are respectively connected with those element antennas and that apply a predetermined phase shift amount to transmitting signals to be supplied to the element antennas and to received signals received by the element antennas, wherein the transmit/receive module has one transmitting path that is connected to first and second element antennas and that amplifies and distributes the transmitting signal to the first and second element antennas after applying a predetermined transmitting phase shift amount and two receiving paths that amplify and apply respectively a receiving phase shift amount to the received signals received from the first and second element antennas.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7889121
    Abstract: A transmit/receive module that reduces size and weight of a radar apparatus is disclosed. The transmit/receive module includes a transmit input terminal, a receive output terminal, a transmit line, a receive line, and a plurality of branch devices. During monitoring of the transmit line, the plural branch devices are configured so that a standard signal inputted to the transmitting terminal passes through the transmit line, and is outputted to the receive output terminal. During monitoring of the receive line, the plural branch devices are configured so that the standard signal inputted to the transmitting terminal passes through the receive line, and is outputted to the receive output terminal.
