ABSTRACT:
A flush mounting, cavity-backed, dual orthogonal slot antenna in which improved radiation pattern characteristics are obtained by making the spiral slot pattern elliptical in the aperture plane. A cavity (11) and a flanged aperture plate (11a) are shown in which one slot pair (12 and 13) is orthogonal with respect to another slot pair (14 and 15) within the aperture plate (11a). Coaxial split-tube baluns (12a and 14a) are used to drive the junctions between corresponding slot pairs. Optional cavity dielectric (18) is provided and a drive coupling arrangement includes a four port comparator hybrid (30) having .ltoreq. and .DELTA. ports (17 and 16) respectively, for alternate excitation to produce a single lobe or a double lobe pattern with null. Switching apparatus is provided to connect a common terminal (26) to either of the ports (17 or 16).
