Abstract
A mount and mechanism for imparting scan motion to a radar antenna useful in locations where obstructions forward of the antenna limit the field of view of the radar. The mount includes a carriage for translating the antenna transversely to the direction of beam propagation. Several mechanisms are disclosed for converting translatory motion to rotary motion and imparting the rotary motion as scanning motion to the antenna.
