Abstract: A waveguide slotted array is disclosed, employing compound slots in a waveguide broad wall. The phase of the voltage excited in the slot is controlled by the slot offset and angle of inclination relative to the axis. Utilization of the additional phase control provided by the compound slots allows the beam of a traveling wave slot array to be placed far from broadside, without the need to operate the array at frequencies so close to the waveguide cutoff frequency that there is unacceptable frequency sensitivity. The beam may be placed at any angle independently of which end of the array contains the input and which end the load.

Abstract: An electronically variable delay line having adjustable delay and bandwidth characteristics is provided. A varactor diode functioning as a variable controlled capacitance is coupled between a signal conductor and a ground reference conductor, thereby segmenting the signal conductor into two, individual smaller segments of conductor which function as fixed inductances. The delay characteristic of the line is adjusted by varying the varactor's biasing voltage which, in turn, varies the varactor's capacitance. A staggered termination technique is implemented to stabilize the insertion loss characteristics of the delay line.
