Abstract: A method of fabricating an antenna including a plurality of radiating waveguides disposed so that their wave paths are parallel two by two and including a feed waveguide having a wave path forming a flat zigzag serpentine pattern. The feed waveguide is disposed against the radiating waveguides so that a longitudinal axis of the feed waveguide pattern intersects the radiating waveguides at an angle of substantially 90 degrees. The feed waveguide includes coupling elements on its face in contact with the radiating waveguides. The radiating waveguides are straight and the straight portions of the zigzag wave path in the feed waveguide form a non-zero angle with the wave paths of the radiating waveguides, so that the coupling elements feed the radiating waveguides.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frequency dispersive antenna. The antenna comprises at least one top part and one bottom part. The top part and the bottom part comprises radiating waveguides coupled electromagnetically by way of coupling slots to a feed waveguide. The feed waveguide of the top part of the antenna does not comprise any coupling slot over a length L. The length L is chosen so as to achieve an electric length substantially equal to the electric length of the feed guide coupled to the bottom part of the antenna. In particular, the invention applies to the pinpointing of meteorological phenomena over an angular domain greater than the natural width of an airborne antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frequency-dispersive antenna. The antenna comprises radiating waveguides on which are formed slots. The antenna comprises at least one feed waveguide linked by coupling slots to the radiating waveguides. The variation of the pointing direction of the beam from the antenna in at least one plane is obtained by varying the frequency of the wave guided by the feed waveguide. The length of the feed waveguide between the coupling slots of two adjacent radiating waveguides is greater than the distance separating the coupling slots of these two adjacent radiating waveguides. In particular, the invention applies to an airborne antenna suited to the detection and locating of meteorological phenomena.

Abstract: The invention relates to a frequency dispersive antenna comprising radiating waveguides divided into three legs. The indirect angle between the first and second leg is greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, the direct angle between the second and third leg being greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The antenna comprises a feed waveguide comprising a stack of elements divided into three adjacent legs, the direct angle between the first and second leg being greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees, the indirect angle between the second and third leg being greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. In particular, the invention applies to an airborne antenna suitable for the detection and for the pinpointing of meteorological phenomena.
