Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0227910A2] A beam forming network is described for generating a difference beam in a first direction with an omnidirectional sidelobe in other directions incorporating a plurality of hybrid circuits and a plurality of directional couplers coupled together. The invention overcomes the problem of requiring a more complex circuit for generating a difference beam with an omnidirectional sidelobe.
