ABSTRACT:
An antenna for transmitting or receiving, for limited fine scan or wide angle scan, or for producing multiple beams has a plurality antenna radiators or receivers (apertures) in a linear array, coupled to a smaller plurality of antenna networks so that many of the antenna apertures are coupled to two of the networks and the networks are all coupled to a common transmission line. For a spatial scanning system, each network is coupled to the common transmission line through a variable phase shifter so that the radiation patterns of the apertures combine to define a beacon of predetermined fine pointing direction that can be used to spatially sweep a sector by varying the phase shifters according to a predetermined schedule. Furthermore, by shifting the point of feed to the networks, the pointing direction is caused to switch in relatively large steps, from one sector to another sector.
