Abstract
An improved slot array antenna with a circular aperture and linear polarization is shown to be made up of a plurality of slotted waveguides having different lengths and different widths. The slots in the waveguides are positioned to optimize amplitude taper in any plane passing through the center of the array normal to the surface thereof and to maximize the number of such slots.
