Abstract
An investigation into using subharmonic injection locking to control the radiated phase of an active patch oscillator is presented. This technique is an attractive locking method and can result in an improved phase control range over fundamental locking. A significant phase control range >360° is experimentally achieved by using a novel element configuration. Results are described and some potential implementation difficulties are noted.Keywords
