Abstract:
The present invention refers to a method for controlling transmission of an electronically steerable antenna system, wherein the electronically steerable antenna system comprises a signal generator configured to generate electromagnetic waveforms, and an antenna. The antenna comprises an even number of antenna columns symmetrically arranged about a centerline of the antenna and thereby forming two symmetrical antenna halves. Respective antenna column comprises at least one antenna element configured at least for transmitting electromagnetic waves. The electronically steerable antenna system is configured for transmitting at least interrogation signals and ISLS control signals, and the method comprises the method steps of, when transmitting the ISLS control signals: generating an electromagnetic waveform; applying a first transmission phase offset to the electromagnetic waveform, wherein the first transmission phase offset determines the phase offset between each antenna column pair; applying a second transmission phase offset to each antenna column of the second antenna half, wherein the second transmission phase offset of the second antenna half offset is 180 degrees in relation to the first antenna half; and transmitting the generated electromagnetic waveform whereto the first and the second phase offsets have been applied. The present invention also relates to an electronically steerable antenna system configured to execute the method.

Claim (Index 13):
A method for controlling an electronically steerable antenna system ( 10 ) according to  claim 12 , wherein the method further comprises step of calculating the first transmission phase offset, wherein the first transmission phase offset is calculated by maximizing the ratio in effective radiated power between the effective radiated power of a transmitted ISLS control signal and the effective radiated power of a transmitted interrogation signal in the directions of the side lobes.
