A feed device for a sweep beam array antenna which has a plurality of elementary antennae combined into a plurality of sub-arrays having a predetermined overlap at their ends. Each sub-array includes a plurality of elementary groups, each elementary group including N elementary antennae. Each elementary group is fed by a feed circuit having N inputs and N outputs. Circuitry is provided for grouping together an arbitrary number of said elementary groups to form an assembly comprising MN elementary antennae, where M is greater than N, and MN antennae are the number of antennae in a sub-array. This circuitry is connected to an energy distributor and includes a plurality of divider distributor circuits, each one coupled to an output of the energy distributor. Each divider distributor circuits has M outputs. The circuitry also includes a plurality of adder distributor circuits, each one having N outputs coupled to the N inputs of a respective one of said elementary groups. Each adder distributor circuit has M inputs which are coupled to the M outputs of predetermined ones of the divider distributor circuits according to a predetermined, periodic law.
