Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3012540A1] Quasi-optical beamformer comprising a power distributor (1) composed of a succession of parallel-plate dividers (3) extending in a YZ-plane from a first stage (e1) to a last stage (e N), each parallel-plate divider (3) comprising, in each of the stages of the corporate structure located under a higher stage, first and second parallel-plate waveguide branches (B1, B2) leading to respective parallel-plate dividers (3) of the following stage of the corporate structure, the beamformer furthermore including a plurality of lenses (6, 7) extending longitudinally along the X-axis in at least one stage of the power distributor (1), so as to apply a delay that is continuously variable along the X-axis, said lenses being placed in each of the branches (B1, B2) of the dividers (3) of at least one stage in the power distributor (1).
