Phased antenna array for wind profiling applications
Abstract
The invention relates to a phased antenna array for use with radar apparatus for wind profiling based on Doppler frequency shift measurements. More specifically, the invention relates to a diagonally-shaped or diamond-shaped, phased array of individual antenna elements oriented to be uniformly polarized in a predetermined direction which is at a 45 degree angle to the principal planes of the array such that the radiation patterns are similar and geometrically tapered in the principal planes.
