Claim 1
Independent Claim
147 words
AN OMNIDIRECTIONAL HORN RADIATOR SYSTEM FOR MICROWAVE SIGNALS COMPRISING A PAIR OF STATIONARY PLANAR DISCS SPACED FOR FORMING A RADIAL SIGNAL TRANSMISSION LINE EFFECTIVE OVER 360* IN THE AZIMUTH PLANE, THE REMOTE RADIAL REGIONS OF SAID DISCS BEING SHAPED WITH AN ANNULAR OUTWARDLY FLARED APERTURE CONSTITUTING A HORN RADIATOR OF SIGNALS IMPRESSED ACROSS SAID DISCS HAVING A PREDETERMINED VERTICAL RADIATION PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE OMNIDIRECTIONAL AZIMUTH SWEEP OF THE RADIATOR, SAID DISCS EACH BEING FORMED WITH A CENTRAL APERTURE, AND A ROTATABLE SIGNAL MODULATOR SOURCE OF ANNULAR SHAPE CONCENTRIC TO SAID DISCS AND ELECTRICALLY COUPLED TO SAID DISCS ACROSS THEIR APERTURE PERIPHERY FOR OMNIDIRECTIONAL RADIATION TO FREE SPACE OF THE SIGNALS IN SAID PREDETERMINED PATTERN, THE DIAMETER OF SAID DISCS BEING SUFFICIENTLY GREATER THAN THE WAVELENGTH OF SAID SIGNALS FOR PROVIDING MEANS FOR BROAD-BAND OMNIDIRECTIONAL MATCHING TO FREE SPACE, WHILE PERMITTING SUBSTANTIAL APERTURE VARIATION FOR TRANSVERSE BEAM SHAPING.
