Abstract (en)
[origin: US4734700A] An omni-directional scanning group antenna with electronically phase-control beam for precise target locating or target tracking comprising a plurality of line fed individual radiators (1) distributed within the volume of an imaginary three-dimensional body (2) such as a sphere which is divided into eight separate sub-volumes V1 through V8 forming octants wherein the signals SV1 through SV8 of the octants ae combined with a circuit (4) comprising eleven sum-difference elements so as to form one sum signal, one elevation difference signal and two azimuth difference signals. The invention is suitable for application in three-dimensional phase-array antennas for all-around scanning with precise target locating and target tracking.
