Abstract
A multibeam antenna, which has a high switching capability with high RF power levels, consisting of three subarrays (5,6,7) which suitably spaced, assure angular coverage in the azimuth hemispace from 0.degree. to 180.degree.. A single beam forming network (2, 3) provides each subarray with the correct field amplitude and phase distribution. Switching is performed electronically.
