Mutual Synchronization as a Method for Summing Microwave Oscillator Powers

Abstract

The excitation of an active phased antenna array through connecting a microwave self-oscillator to each transmitter has been investigated. A system of nonlinear differential equations has been used to describe the operation of self-oscillators in a mutual synchronization mode. Computer simulation of the system has been performed. An example of the calculation using a computer program and plotting the transient process of settling the self-oscillations is presented, which confirm the possibility of the existence of a mode of mutual synchronization of many self-oscillators.
