  • Beam forming network
    Patent number: 4864311
    Abstract: A beam forming network employing a matrix of resistive coupling elements to link individual elements E.sub.1 to E.sub.n of an antenna to the different phase terminals 3, 4, 5 and 6 of a phase combiner. Because of unwanted coupling between the conductive members forming the matrix it has in some circumstances been found impossible to select values of the coupling elements to give a required beam pattern. The invention solves the problem by including phase shifters in alternate lines to the antenna elements. A separate matrix and phase combiner is provided for each beam to be formed.
