ABSTRACT:
A superconductive array antenna system provides a substantial improvement of gain, in the range of from about 5 db to over 20 db, at frequencies in excess of 20 gigahertz, and preferably in the range from 40 to 100 gigahertz and beyond. The antenna system includes a phased antenna array, operating at superconductive cryogenic temperatures, with superconductive phasing and switching systems, to permit antenna beam steering and polarization independent of operating frequencies. The invention also permits the elimination of amplifiers and other such elements that have been needed to overcome system losses, and permits further miniaturization of such systems.
