ABSTRACT:
A space fed antenna with a folded path to reduce the distance between a phased array and the focal point of such array is shown to be made up of: (a) a first plurality of vertically polarized antenna elements incorporated in the phased array; (b) a second plurality of cross-polarized antenna elements disposed to form a polarization-twisting screen at a distance from the first plurality of vertically polarized antenna elements equal to one-third the focal length of such elements; and (c) a third plurality of latching circulators connected between selected pairs of cross-polarized antenna elements in the polarization-twisting screen so that such pairs also may function as a feed array for the space fed antenna.
