Abstract

A simple synchronisation method avoiding the modelock phenomenon has been realised using dynamic network coupling. Two-dimensional arrays of millimeter-wave power-combining and beam-scanning control systems are considered as an application of the method. The effect, limitations and robustness of the proposed method are investigated numerically.
