Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
69 words
An array antenna comprising: a. an untransposed open transmission line having two generally parallel elongated conductors, b. each of said conductors having a transverse dimension that alternates between a maximum value and a minimum value over successive half wavelength intervals along the length of said line, c. the regions of maximum transverse dimension of each of said conductors being adjacent the regions of minimum transverse dimension of the other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
69 words
An array antenna comprising: a. an untransposed open transmission line having two generally parallel elongated conductors, b. each of said conductors having a transverse dimension that alternates between a maximum value and a minimum value over successive half wavelength intervals along the length of said line, c. the regions of maximum transverse dimension of each of said conductors being adjacent the regions of minimum transverse dimension of the other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention set forth in claim 1, wherein said conductors are flat strips disposed on an insulating plate, and said alternating transverse dimension is width.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The invention set forth in claim 2, wherein said conductors are on opposite surfaces of said plate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The invention set forth in claim 1, further including means for reflectively terminating one end of said line.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The invention set forth in claim 2, further including a plurality of similar longitudinally coextensive structures disposed at laterally spaced locations on said insulating plate to provide a sheet array of respectively collinear arrays.
