Abstract
In a prior form of stripline antenna, the strip turns through successive right-angle corners to form successive multi-cornered cells in which the lengths of the longitudinal and transverse strip sections are such that the summed radiation from each cell radiates in the same direction and with the same polarization direction. In the present disclosure, the distribution of radiated power along the array is varied, e.g. to maximize it at the center, by varying the absolute lengths of these strip sections as between cells while maintaining their required relationships, e.g. by progressively increasing these lengths towards the center of the array in order to increase the radiated power accordingly. This compares with the previously known method, viz varying the strip width.
