Abstract

A phase shifter transmission device includes: a power mechanism, a driving rod, a plurality of transmission assemblies, and at least one row of phase shifters. The power mechanism is connected to the driving rod and configured to drive the driving rod to rotate. The plurality of transmission assemblies are connected to the driving rod, distributed along an axial direction of the driving rod, and driven by the driving rod to rotate synchronously. Each row of phase shifters includes a plurality of phase shifters distributed along the axial direction of the driving rod, and each phase shifter of each row of phase shifters is connected to the corresponding transmission assembly. The at least one row of phase shifters are configured, when being driven by the plurality of transmission assemblies, to synchronously adjust phases of radiated signals corresponding to the phase shifters.
