Abstract: A broadband array antenna which delivers an axisymmetric main lobe. The antenna includes patches arranged with an interruption of periodicity in one of the planes and is corner-fed by tree like feed lines from a central point of energization. Opposite each path is a parasitic element for broadening the band. This device can be used in particular with measurement radar.

Abstract: A device for detecting the optimum anode load impedence of a transmitter tube in a high frequency transmission chain. A phase shift circuit phase shifts by k.pi./2 (with k being a positive or negative uneven integer) the phase difference between the input and output voltages of the tube. The phase shifted voltages are multiplying together in a circuit, and the mean value of the product is then calculated. Cancellation of this mean value corresponds to the anode load impedance passing through a purely resistive value. Thus, the circuit allows the phase matching detection to be made, which is independent of any modulus matching detection.
