In this paper, a phase quantization method named appropriate recursive comparative compensation method (ARCCM) is presented. ARCCM develops on the basis of recursive comparative compensation method (RCCM) using the phased array antenna virtual bit technology (VBT). In allusion to one-dimensional uniform linear array, ARCCM is analyzed and simulated. Compared with other methods, the beam pointing accuracy of the phased array antenna obviously improves by using ARCCM, especially when large angle beam scanning.
