摘要： A phased array radar antenna comprises an array of hollow, rectangular tubes, each tube having an opening therethrough. A tuning slug is positioned within each of the hollow tubes, and is mechanically coupled with a transducer for moving each tuning slug through the corresponding hollow tube responsive to an electrical input thereto. A feed horn is provided for radiating electromagnetic energy into the openings of the hollow tubes whereby the energy is reflected therefrom in a direction and in a beam width determined by the position of all of the slugs.

摘要： A phased array antenna includes an array of phase shifters, each shifter being operable for shifting the phase of RF energy passing therethrough. Each shifter includes a quantity of ferroelectric material disposed throughout a region. RF energy propagating from a source passes through the material. A thin conductive electrode is disposed in the center of the material, the electrode having a bias voltage imposed thereon. Such voltage creates an electric field across the material, which for a uniaxial ferroelectric orients the optic axis of the material in a direction which is both normal to the direction of propagation of the RF energy and parallel to the polarization direction of the RF energy. The electric field changes the wave propagation constant (i.e., for a uniaxial ferroelectric, the extraordinary wave refractive index, n.sub.e), producing a varying path length of the RF energy in the material, resulting in a controllable alteration of the phase of the RF energy. The varying phase shift produced by each phase shifter controls the antenna's radiating direction.

摘要： A phase shifter for use in a phased array antenna includes a waveguide flange of metallic material has a narrow slot formed therein, the slot having ferroelectric material disposed uniformly therein. The slot is of reduced height relative to normal waveguide dimension, such height reduction minimizing the voltage applied across the material RF energy radiating from a source is directed to pass through the ferroelectric material. A single, thin conductive plate is disposed in the center of the slot, the plate having an electrical DC voltage imposed thereon. Such voltage creates an electric field across the material, which for a uniaxial ferroelectric orients the optic axis in a direction which is both normal to the direction of propagation of the radiation and parallel to the polarization direction of the radiation. The electric field changes the wave propagation constant (i.e., for a uniaxial ferroelectric, the extraordinary wave refractive index, n.sub.e), producing a varying path length of the radiation in the material, resulting in a controllable alteration of the radiation phase. The varying phase shift is either used to control an antenna's radiating direction, or is detected by a measuring device to test the material itself.

摘要： An electronically scannable microwave antenna having a minimum physical size suitable for mounting in the leading edge of an aircraft wing or the like. A multiplicity of waveguide radiators form a horizontal array having a common horn for limiting the vertical beamwidth. The radiators are fed by a common continuous sinuous waveguide having a plurality of coupling apertures for feeding the radiators in phase. The sinuous waveguide includes coupling sections above and below the radiators to minimize the horizontal size of the antenna. The coupling apertures are formed to provide a linear Taylor distribution of energy to the radiators to produce a narrow horizontal beamwidth having very small side lobes. The antenna beam is scannable in azimuth by varying the frequency of the input signal or by periodically varying the phase of a constant frequency input signal at each radiator.

摘要： An improved flatplate array antenna has a polarizer lens positioned adjacent the array. The polarizer lens is made of at least one dielectric sheet having an upper half and a lower half. Each half contains a set of parallel meanderlines positioned so that vertically or horizontally polarized RF energy emitted from the array passes through the lens and undergoes a phase advance or a phase retard, so that the RF energy passing through the upper half becomes circularly polarized in one direction and the RF energy passing through the lower half becomes circularly polarized in an opposite direction.
