The phase conjugation circuit uses a balanced circuit structure with subharmonically injection locked self-oscillating mixers oscillating at ω. In the operation, an input signal at ω/2 is converted to its conjugated signal with no external source required for LO signal pumping, and the output signal frequency is locked at the same frequency of the input signal. The developed phase conjugation circuit is implemented with active antennas to become a retrodirective antenna array. Both the theoretical and measured results of phase conjugation and retro-directive performance are shown in good agreement.Injection locked oscillators; Phase conjugation; Retro-directive antennasDirectional patterns (antenna); Frequency allocation; Harmonic analysis; Oscillators (electronic); Phase modulation; Injection locked self oscillating mixers; Phase conjugation circuit; Retro-directive antenna array; Antenna arraysjournal article10.1109/TAP.2003.8224362-s2.0-1542346098WOS:000189269300019
