K-band phased array antennas based on Ba/sub 0.60/Sr/sub 0.40/TiO/sub 3/ thin-film phase shifters

This paper summarizes the development of a prototype 23.675-GHz linear 16-element scanning phased array antenna based on thin ferroelectric film coupled microstripline phase shifters and microstrip patch radiators. A new type of scanning reflect array antenna is introduced.
