Zusammenfassung:An antenna includes an aperture defining a feed area of the antenna, the aperture divided into a plurality of discrete subarrays, and a feed network having an input port, a plurality of output ports, and a plurality of conductors, each conductor connected between the input port and a respective output port the plurality of output ports, and each output port of the plurality of output ports connected to a respective subarray of the plurality of subarrays. A line length of one conductor of the plurality of conductors is different from a line length of another conductor of the plurality of conductors to introduce different time delays between the input port and the respective output ports.
