ABSTRACT:
A radiated signal, received by each one of a plurality of spatially separated antennas, forming a directive array, is coherently recovered by the lens. The lens is comprised of a plurality of vertically standing and circularly arranged printed circuit panels, each of which includes a conductive strip connected at one end to each antenna. A plurality of semi-elliptical circuit panels are affixed to the vertical panels at a predetermined angle with respect thereto. Plated on the semi-elliptical panels are metal strips of predetermined length to provide the desired time delay to the antenna signals. A combining strip couples to the time delay strips and provides a combined output signal at one end of the semi-elliptical panel. The angle at which the semi-elliptical boards are affixed to the vertical boards corrects for time delay distortion caused by the placement of the combining strip.
