Abstract
This specification discloses how to control the resonant slot length fed by a boxed strip line and a slot array antenna which uses a standing wave to form a broadside and an off broadside main beam. A plurality of linearly arranged elongated slots are fed by one continuous stripline feed conductor. The conductor has conductor portions each associated with one slot and each having a longitudinal axis which is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of the associated slot. The conductor portions form a zig-zag pattern, adjacent slots having conductor portions angled at a different direction with respect to the direction of alignment of the slots.
