ABSTRACT:
A hollow waveguide includes a conductive peripheral wall arrangement centered on a longitudinal axis. The waveguide is short-circuited at a first transverse plane. A center conductor is connected to the short-circuit and extends along the longitudinal axis to an abrupt open circuit termination at a second transverse plane. The arrangement is fed at a location between the first and second transverse planes to produce both a fundamental waveguide mode and a center-conductor coupled mode. The fundamental mode has an amplitude taper in the horizontal direction but not in the vertical direction. At the abrupt termination, a higher-order waveguide mode is generated which, when phase-shifted by 180.degree., provides an amplitude taper in a vertical direction. A radiating aperture located near the 180.degree. phase shift point produces a radiation pattern which is similar in both the verticla and horizontal planes.
