Two Dimensional Array Beam Scanning via Externally and Mutally Injection Locked Coupled Oscillators
Some years ago, Stephan proposed an approach to one dimensional (linear) phased array beam steering which requires only a single phase shifter.

A review of recent developments in the application of coupled oscillators to phased array antennas
Some years ago it was proposed that an array of electronic oscillators coupled to nearest neighbors can be made to mutually injection lock and oscillate as an ensemble thus implementing spatial power combining.

Recent Developments in the Analysis of Couple Oscillator Arrays
This presentation considers linear arrays of coupled oscillators. Our purpose in coupling oscillators together is to achieve high radiated power through the spatial power combining which results when the oscillators are injection locked to each other. York, et. al. have shown that, left to themselves, the ensemble of injection locked oscillators oscillate at the average of the tuning frequencies of all the oscillators. Coupling these arrays achieves high radiated power through coherent spatial power combining. The coupled oscillators are usually designed to produce constant aperture phase. Oscillators are injection locked to each other or to a master oscillator to produce coherent radiation. Oscillators do not necessarily oscillate at their tuning frequency.

Continuum Modeling of the Dynamics of Externally Injection Locked Coupled Oscillator Arrays
Mutually injection locked arrays of electronic oscillators provide a novel means of controlling the aperture phase of a phased array antenna thus achieving the advantages of spatial power combining while retaining the ability to steer the radiated beam. In this work we develop a continuum model which results in a single partial differential equation for the aperture phase as a function of time.

Continuum Modeling of the Dynamics of Externally Injection-locked Coupled Oscillator Arrays
Mutually injection-locked arrays of electronic oscillators provide a novel means of controlling the aperture phase of a phased-array antenna, thus achieving the advantages of spatial power combining while retaining the ability to steer the radiated beam. In a number of design concepts, one or more of the oscillators are injection locked to a signal from an external master-oscillator. The behavior of such a system has been analyzed by numerical solution of a system of nonlinear differential equations which, due to its complexity, yields limited insight into the relationship between the injection signals and the aperture phase. In this paper, we develop a continuum model, which results in a single partial differential equation for the aperture phase as a function of time. Solution of the equation is effected by means of the Laplace transformation and yields detailed information concerning the dynamics of the array under the influence of the external injection signals.
