Abstract

The quasi-optical antenna mixer system transforms the RF signal and the local oscillator's signal (LO) into the intermediate frequency signal as soon as the system receives the RF and the LO spatially. In the report, we propose a novel receiving system with the multi-element quasi-optical antenna-mixer. The arrival direction of the RF signal can be controlled by the system without RF circuits such as phase shifters in the phased array. Therefore, not only losses in RF circuits are reduced but also the system is designed easily because of its simple structure. We made this system in the microwave band, and verified that experimental results agree with analytical ones very much.
