Radar aerial elements in three=dimensional array - consist of dipoles randomly or symmetrically distributed in sphere with phase-controlled supply

摘要

An aerial grouping is used in multifunctional radar systems which consists of individual radiators distributed in three dimensions. Each individual radiator is fed with HF signals through its own cable. The beam rotation to produce circular scanning is electronically controlled. The individual radiators (2) are distributed within the volume of a sphere (1). The distribution can be random within the sphere or can be symmetrical around a vertical axis. They consist of vertical electrical or magnetic dipoles.
