This invention is an electronically steerable radar antenna which is on a cylinder section which is on the order of one wave length in circumference and in which the shape of the antenna elements on the cylinder section take the form of "O", "I" and "C" slots occupying about one-third the section circumference. Radar beams are steered by changing the phase and amplitude of the drive to the different elements of the antenna. The slots are formed as interruptions in an otherwise continuous, conductive ground plane and may be filled with dielectric if desired so that there is no surface discontinuity.
