The purpose of this project is to design a system which will automatically detect and adjust the antenna beam phase difference for an antenna array. Phase array antenna is the most import part for wireless communication system and infrastructure, which will be commonly used in our daily life, even for military radar communication system. Therefore, we design this auto-feedback loop system which will be using Band Pass Filter, Low Noise Amplifier, Directional Coupler, Phase Detector, Phase Shifter, Micro Controller Unit, Power Combiner. We will study the property of above components, specifications, make the all components on a single PCB and run simulation result in school lab equipment. We will have a better understanding of the Phase Array antenna working principle. And understand how to design a system to auto-adjust the antenna beam phase.
