Abstract:
The invention comprises at least two antenna elements; at least two radio frequency units, which are connected to an antenna element; digital modem, comprising receiving and transmitting blocks, received signal distribution network, connected with radio frequency units and receiving block and is capable to forward the received signal from units to the receiving block; transmitted signal distribution network, connected with units and transmitting block and is capable to forward the transmitted signal from the transmitting block to the units; beamforming module, connected with receiving and transmitting blocks through the control channels; wherein said apparatus also comprises a clock generator and a clock signal distribution network connected with the clock generator and with radio frequency units, wherein each unit comprises variable gain blocks and a voltage-controlled oscillator with a phased locked loop synthesizer with a fractional and programmable divider, wherein the beamforming module is connected with units through command channels.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for electronic beam scanning in microwave communication apparatus comprising the steps: A) phase synchronization of the signals at the outputs of at least two radio frequency units using a short deviation in a fractional divider of the phased lock loop for the voltage-controlled oscillator in the frequency synthesizer used in at least one radio frequency unit; B) calculation of the target spatial position of a beam in the beamforming module using control information taken from the receiving and transmitting blocks of the digital modem through the control channels; C) definition by the beamforming module of power weight coefficients for signals at the outputs of at least two radio frequency units, such coefficients defined to provide the target beam spatial position; D) applying command signals corresponding to the power weight coefficients through command channels to the variable gain elements of the radio frequency units; E) applying data signals to received and transmitting signal distribution networks.
