Abstract:
A radar system includes a plurality of radiating elements configured to radiate electromagnetic energy and a plurality of feed waveguides defining a common plane and configured to guide electromagnetic energy to the plurality of radiating elements. The radar system also includes a plurality of waveguides arranged as a dividing network configured to split the electromagnetic energy from the source among the plurality of feed waveguides, such that each feed waveguide receives a respective portion of the electromagnetic energy. Additionally, the dividing network is configured to adjust a phase of the electromagnetic energy received by each waveguide. The splitting and adjusting of the dividing network may be based on differences in height and/or width between the waveguides of the dividing network and the feed waveguides. At least a portion of the dividing network is located in a plane other than the common plane of the feed waveguides.

Claim (Index 19):
A waveguide system comprising:\n a plurality of feed waveguides located in a common plane, each feed waveguide configured to conduct electromagnetic energy from an end of the feed waveguide to at least one radiating element coupled to the feed waveguide; a source of electromagnetic energy; a dividing network comprising a plurality of waveguides, wherein the dividing network is configured to:\n receive electromagnetic energy from the source, \n split the electromagnetic energy from the source among the plurality of feed waveguides, and \n wherein the splitting and adjusting are based in part on differences in height and/or width between the waveguides of the dividing network and the feed waveguides, and wherein the dividing network comprises reactive elements and no absorption load elements.
