Abstract
Stripline antenna arrays of the type in which the strip turns through successive right-angle corners to form successive four-cornered cells, the lengths of the longitudinal and tranverse strip sections being such that the summed radiation in each cell has the same polarization direction, viz vertical, horizontal or circular, radiating in the broadside direction effect arbitrary polarization directions radiating in any direction in the plane (x-z) normal to the array which contains the array axis, by using cells having six potential right-angle corner sites and strip sections of appropriate lengths. The number of actual corners may reduce to four; e.g. where strip-section lengths reduce to zero.
