MULTIPLE BEAM INTERVAL SCANNER

Abstract

An experimental program to demonstrate the feasibility of combining a coaxial probe monopulse organ pipe scanner with a wide angle two-dimensional constrained lens is described. The antenna system which was built and tested to prove this feasibility operates in the 5250 mcs to 5750 mcs range. It produces a half power beamwidth of 2 degrees in azimuth by 4 degrees in elevation which can be scanned =36 degrees from broadside in the azimuth plane. Variations of the measured radiation characteristics with frequency and angle of scan are summarized in graphical form. Design data and typical monopulse sum and difference patterns are presented. The test results show that such a lens- scanner antenna system is practicable for wide angle scanning in one plane.
