W artykule przedstawiono zasadę działania sterowanych elektronicznie mikrofalowych szyków antenowych typu Van Atta oraz przedstawiono przykłady ich rozwiązań konstrukcyjnych. Rozwiązania te stanowią podstawę do opracowania sterowanego elektronicznie szyku antenowego. Uwzględniono również problemy towarzyszące analizie i projektowaniu takich anten.

The principleles of operation of electronically scanned Van Atta arrays are described in detail. The examples of a constructional realization of antennas under discussion are also presented. They include the fundamental microwave devices implemented in electronically scanned Van Atta type antennas realized in both active and passive versions. An alternative construction of electronically scanned antenna of Van Atta type versus the atenna mentioned above is the antenna utilizing the heterodyning techniques. Of course, this construction is also under discussion. The typical components, used extensively in design of reflectarray mentioned above, such as: mixing and amplifying devices are also presented. Additionally, some problems associated with analysis and design of these antennas are also considered. Special attention is put on the constructional solutions of retransmitting elements. Some of their standard designs are presented. Different constructions enabling phase changes of the retransmitted signal are taken into consideration. In addition to this, retransmitting elements utilizing both linear and circular polarization signals are examined, incorporating an analysis of their operation principles and construction examples.
