| | Circumferential slotted ridged waveguide array antenna - Patent 4658261 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | An antenna as recited in claim 3 wherein said slots are disposed in two parallel rows which are equidistant from a longitudinal centerline of said outside wall, the slots adjacent to the feedpoint being on the same side of the longitudinal centerline, adjacent slots on each side of the longitudinal centerline being in different rows. |
 | | Adjacent slots 26 are spaced center to center in the longitudinal plane, nominally at a distance equal to one-half of the wavelength (.lambda.g) of the center operating frequency in the waveguide. |
 | | The dimensions of the waveguide cavity, which are chosen by conventional rectangular waveguide design principles, are 2.19 inches for the width (a), 0.535 inches for height (b), 0.800 inches for the ridge width (s), and 0.156 inches for the gap (d). |
