Abstract
For a linear phased array using coupled oscillators, the main beam angle can be steered by properly detuning the free running frequencies of the oscillators [1–4]. Due to the fabrication tolerance of the oscillator, the free running frequency can randomly deviate from the desired value. Such randomness of the free running frequencies can cause errors of the phase shifts between the adjacent elements, and cause an error of the main beam scanning angle (EMBSA) [5]. In this work, the influence of the randomness of the free running frequencies is investigated for oscillator arrays with different coupling strengths when amplitude dynamics are considered. The influence on the synchronization frequency and array patterns at the steady state is also demonstrated.
