Disclosed is a system and method for a 24-GHz phased array for indoor smart radar comprising at least 6 horizontally placed antenna elements as a vertically placed 5-element series-fed microstrip patch array. The beam of the phased array can be continuously steered on the H-plane to different directions through a novel vector control array. Each element can adjust the phase and amplitude of the corresponding element of the horizontally placed linear array. The phased array system of the present invention may be fabricated on a single printed circuit board (PCB), and PIN diodes are used to realize beam steering by modulating the decomposed received signal. In order to compensate for the loss of the vector control array and reduce the noise figure, six low noise amplifiers (LNAs) are also used in the array. The present invention has the ability to continuously steer the beam on the H-plane.

The invention comprises a device for receiving electromagnetic signal and radiating the signal further. With that device the signal can be repeated on the other side of a barrier, for example a wall, which prevents the signal to propagate. The receiving section (1) of the device has been made as a planar aperture antenna, as well as the re-radiating section (2). The above-mentioned planar aperture antenna has been made so that between the antenna parts of conductive material (6) there is an opening (7) which opens in the propagation direction of the signal (4 and 5). Between the above-mentioned receiving section (1) and the re-radiating section (2) there is a signal transmission section (3) which has been implemented as two parallel conductors (8) with a gap (9). The transitions between the receiving section (1), the signal transmission section (3) and the re-radiating section (2) have been realized in stepless manner without separate connectors.
