Some Design Aspects of a Special Shipboard Array Antenna System

Abstract

This describes an analytical design of a special antenna system comprising one horn illuminating a planar array, each element of which is connected through an amplifier to the corresponding element of a second planar array, which radiates. The primary objective here is to make the total path length from the horn to any element of the second array via the respective intermediate points described above, the same for all such elements. This characteristics is very useful in making the system broadband. An example is given and a corresponding model having the equal path length characteristic is made.
