  • Multiscale vector constellation
    Patent number: 11539105
    Abstract: An attenuator is configured to attenuate and phase-shift a radiofrequency signal according to a control signal, having a plurality of first attenuation cells (A1, AN?1), configured to attenuate said radiofrequency signal by a predetermined value and activated according to a particular bit of the control signal, and implementing a combinatorial logic on the bits of the control signal that are used to control the first attenuation cells, and at least one second attenuation cell (B1, BM) configured to attenuate said radiofrequency signal by a predetermined value and activated according to a particular output implementing the combinatorial logic. A control node is also provided for an array antenna having such an attenuator, and an array antenna having an array of such control node and a satellite.
    Type: Grant
