Abstract: A method for remotely neutralizing a target. The method includes transmission by a probe antenna toward the target of a test signal having a frequency spectrum having at least two distinct test frequencies; reception by an array of at least two antennas of a plurality of waves scattered by the target in response to the test signal. For each antenna of the array the method includes measuring a representative value of the amplitude of the waves scattered by the target as a function of the test frequencies; choosing at least one favored transmission frequency as a function of the representative value of the amplitude of the scattered waves; and transmitting at least one radiofrequency wave toward the target at a minimum of one favored frequency chosen for that antenna with a phase ensuring the coherent addition on the target of the radiofrequency waves transmitted by the antennas of the array.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmitting device, comprising an electromagnetic radiation source, an array-type antenna having an axis of transmission (T-T) and a guiding conduit for guiding the electromagnetic radiation from the source to the antenna. The antenna is able to rotate relative to the radiation source around an axis (X-X), the axis (X-X) being angularly offset from the axis of transmission (T-T) and the guiding conduit comprises a first waveguide extending along the axis of rotation (X-X) of the antenna and rigidly connected to the antenna.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antenna comprising a transmission surface, an array of elementary antennas each extending from the transmission surface, first and second superimposed electromagnetic waveguides. The first waveguide is adapted to power the second waveguide from a collection inlet, and the second waveguide is adapted to power the elementary antennas. The antenna comprises means for coupling the electromagnetic energy associated with the electromagnetic wave between the first and second waveguides. The coupling means separate the transmission surface into two concentric regions made up of a peripheral region and an internal region situated at the collection inlet, each comprising at least one elementary antenna.
