ABSTRACT:
Radio frequency antenna arrays of radiating slot apertures serially connected along a predetermined path transverse to the radiating slot apertures. In the exemplary embodiments, the radiating slot apertures are formed by parallel edges of conductive radiator surfaces where the edges are spaced apart by substantially one-half wavelength at the anticipated antenna operating frequency. Such radiator surfaces are, in some embodiments, dimensioned in a direction parallel to the apertures in relation to the relative proportion of radio frequency energy which is to be radiated to/from the slot apertures associated therewith to thus determine the total array aperture amplitude taper while the spacing between the radiator surfaces determines the phase taper across the total array aperture. Other exemplary embodiments utilize internal reflections in an array to determine the array amplitude taper and still other exemplary embodiments combine a plurality of such arrays to form two-dimensional special purpose arrays.
