Abstract
We propose a design for an active antenna array employing 2D triangular Jos ephson junction (JJ) arrays as oscillators. The oscillators are kept in syn c by coupling their flux trains to that of a serpentine discrete JJ transmi ssion line. Adding external magnetic flux to the line between adjacent osci llators induces a phase shift in their rf voltages enabling beam steering.
