Patent abstract
An antenna design, having two symmetrical phased array blade antenna elements which provide improved lateral target coverage with an increased effective radiated power and exhibits smooth null-free unidirectional antenna patterns. The direction of the unidirectional antenna pattern is dictated by a switching command under control of a user. Each blade antenna element is coupled to a 90-degree hybrid coupler and an RF switching device by a semi-rigid RF cable. Each blade antenna element is also connected to a sub-resonant choke balun for improved impedance matching and resultant distortion-less antenna patterns.
