Abstract
This paper investigates a phased array ground station capable of tracking multiple sources, multi-beamforming, electronic steering, easy scaling, and low cost. The project will develop a 20-pair dual-polarized yagi-UHF/VHF phased array with a pseudo-random layout, comparing parameters of random and uniform distributions. We will present several analyses: general analysis for side lobes across both elevation and azimuth, analysis of scaling with number of elements ("element sweep"), electronic beam steering analysis, mechanical beam steering analysis, electro-mechanical beam steering analysis, array density analysis, and reception/transmission spectra analysis.
