Abstract:
1. An antenna for radiating a directional high power RF signal in a compact and conformal manner, the antenna comprising: at least one first waveguide for propagating a first high power RF signal with field strength up to an electric field induced breakdown threshold of a material of the at least one first waveguide; at least one septum for dividing the first high power RF signal into at least two second high power RF signals in at least two second waveguides; a broadwall disposed parallel to the at least one septum; a transitioning section passing through the broadwall for changing a direction of the at least two second RF signal's propagation from an axial direction to a perpendicular direction of the at least two second waveguides; and at least two apertures for directionally radiating the at least two second high power RF signals.
